Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

The oldest plaque at Wulften am Harz’s Schützenkleinod bears the year 1742—a precise starting point for the town’s history.

Wulften: Landscape and Local History

Wulften am Harz lies in the Oder floodplain between the Rotenberg and Dut-berg hills, on the edge of the southern Harz. This precise location gives the choice of destination a tangible connection to the landscape; the Schützenkleinod adds a dated historical detail. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider whether this combination of landscape and local history suits your stay.

Groups, clubs, school classes and children’s groups are welcome at the local history museum in Wulften. Visits are arranged with members of the board of the local history society. Please coordinate your visit with them in advance so that you can include the museum as an agreed item in your itinerary.

For a family celebration, a stroll through Wulften with a visit to the local history museum is suggested as an activity. If you take up the idea, factor in the prior arrangement with the board members when planning.

Göttingen: Culture and Nature

The wider Göttingen travel destination offers distinct cultural and nature-related attractions. They provide different points of interest from Wulften’s local history and offer further ideas for planning your trip.

At the Forum Wissen, visitors can learn about ongoing research and teaching. The permanent exhibition “Spaces of Knowledge” covers 1,400 square metres and makes the processes involved in creating knowledge understandable. It comprises twelve rooms with more than 1,400 objects from the collections of the University of Göttingen. The exhibition’s size and number of objects give an idea of its scale; its main focus is on how knowledge is created.

The presentation “City. Power. Faith. Göttingen in the 16th Century” is currently on display at the Städtisches Museum Göttingen. Check the latest exhibition information before your trip. The museum offers groups and school classes guided tours of its permanent exhibitions and the temporary exhibitions currently on show; check booking arrangements in advance.

The Old Botanical Garden in Göttingen was founded in 1736 as a “hortus medicus,” or medicinal garden. Visitors can explore its historic greenhouses, tropical vegetation in the rainforest house and the alpine garden. The urban forest on the Hainberg offers opportunities for walking, hiking and cycling. Wild boar and fallow deer live in the wildlife enclosure at Kehr; a three-kilometre circular path runs around it.

Göttingen also offers weekly changing walking tours and city tours on more than 40 topics, on foot or by bicycle. As tour schedules and availability may change, check dates before your trip.
