Getting to Quedlinburg – A scenic convertible route through the Harz

Quedlinburg is located at the northern edge of the Harz and can be reached from several directions via a beautiful convertible route. Particularly attractive is the drive along the country roads, which wind through gentle hills, dense forests, and idyllic villages. Those traveling from the direction of Wernigerode or Goslar can already enjoy some of the most beautiful landscapes of the Harz along the route while taking in the fresh air and the expansive views of the rolling countryside.

Upon arriving in Quedlinburg, it is advisable to park the convertible on the outskirts of the old town and explore the historic alleys on foot.
