Eastern Harz

 
The old roads ran past the Harz on the north and south. On the fringes of the hills there grew up many small and medium-sized towns whose inhabitants earned their subsistence from mining, industry and trade: places such as Ilsenburg, Wernigerode, Blankenburg, Thale and Ballenstedt, Nordhausen and Sangerhausen, Mansfeld and Eisleben, which now attract many visitors with their picturesque old buildings and beautiful setting or as centers for walks and climbs in the surrounding hills.
