Werningerode is a town in Germany.

Wernigerode, located on the northeastern edge of the Harz Mountains, is a true gem for a convertible tour in Saxony-Anhalt. The city delights with colorful half-timbered houses, a fairytale castle, and the impressive natural backdrop of the Harz Mountains. Those traveling in a convertible can not only cruise through charming alleys here but also enjoy stunning routes around the Harz National Park.

Driving through the Harz in a convertible and along the avenues

The landscape around Wernigerode offers everything that convertible fans' hearts desire: winding roads, magnificent views, and varied routes through dense forests, over hills, and past clear streams. A particularly worthwhile route leads towards Schierke at the Brocken or further into the upper Harz via Elbingerode and Braunlage.

Part of the German Alleys Route runs nearby, making the region an ideal spot for drives under shady tree canopies – especially enchanting in spring and autumn when light filters through the leaf cover. The German Half-Timbered House Route also takes its course through Wernigerode.

Routes towards Ilsenburg or Bad Harzburg also offer wide curves and less traveled roads – perfect for a relaxed convertible tour with panoramic views.

Wernigerode – Colorful half-timbering and a castle with a view

The old town of Wernigerode is a real eye-catcher: richly decorated half-timbered houses, the historic town hall on the marketplace, and narrow streets running through the city. Particularly worth seeing is Wernigerode Castle, which towers high above the town and offers a fantastic view over the Harz landscape. Those who wish can drive the convertible up to the castle hill and take a break at the top.

The Harz narrow-gauge railways, steam locomotives chugging through the town and up to the Brocken, are also part of the experience – a beautiful contrast to the modern convertible tour.
