Harlyberg

The Harlyberg is a summit in Lower Saxony that rises 256 meters high and forms the highest point within the dense forest of the Harly woodland. Multiple hiking trails provide access to the top, including the Kammweg ridge path, which starts roughly 2 kilometers northwest of Vienenburg.

This location became a destination after an observation structure was built on its slopes. The Harly Tower underwent reconstruction after years of disrepair and reopened to the public in 1986.

This summit sits at the edge of the Harz-Brunswick Land-Eastphalia Geopark, shaping how people experience the northern foreland landscape. The location has become a stopping point where visitors pause to take in views across several distinct regions at once.

The site offers various hiking trails of different difficulty levels to reach the summit. The climb is manageable for families, though sturdy footwear and season-appropriate clothing are recommended for comfort.

The observation tower has both glass-enclosed and open-air viewing platforms where visitors can look out across the landscape. On clear days, the Harz Mountains, Elm region, and Huy district become visible as distinct features in the panorama.
