We live in Germany and visit many castles but don't always pay for the tour. We were on our way from Quedlingburg to Braunschweig and stopped here to tour the castle and for a walk through town. The castle is beautiful inside and out and it was nice that we could walk through at our own pace. I appreciated that some of the information was in English but would have liked more. I was confused by the signs directing us to the toilets which are NOT inside the castle. Walk pass the two tour entries to find the toilet.

Would recommend the walk from Thale to Treseburg about 3 hours. Beautiful scenery - waterfalls, rockpools, tree tops, mountains and valleys and high views. No scrambling and down rocks, easy to follow. The place for a beer at the end in Treseburg is up on the hill as you enter. It was excellent. Food and prices were great. We were tempted to stay for dinner but had other plans. You can catch the bus back from Tresesburg to Thale on the free Harz tourist ticket. All in all a great day.

The State Museum of Prehistory in Halle (Saale) is home of the world-famous Nebra Sky Disc and ranks among the most renowned archaeological museums in Central Europe. It is the oldest purpose-built museum for prehistoric archaeology in Germany. The key aspect of its permanent and special exhibitions is human evolutionary and cultural history, which first became tangible in Central Germany around 450,000 years ago. The time-frame ranges to the modern era.

An interesting building, With its own stop on the no. 7 tram line, overlooking the attractive Rosa-Luxemberg-Platz, it’s the contents which really set it apart. With an airy central atrium, surrounded by well-planned galleries, the displays are brilliantly conceived and attractively presented. Who knew that archeology could be made to look so glamorous? The star exhibit (in more ways than one) is the stunning Bronze Age Nebra Sky Disc, the oldest representation of the cosmos in the world. But the other exhibits are pretty good as well. If you are in the area, it is most certainly worth a detour to visit.

It requires some effort to go up the tower, but it is worth it ! The view on Markt platz, the Roter Turm and Halle is amazing. If you decide to go up the Hausmanns Türme, you will also be able to discover it fascinating history as there is some English explanation. I would recommend going there if possible during the Christmas market at downfall to appreciate both the city view and then the market lights.

THE ZOO GARDEN HALLE – THE MOUNTAIN CALLS! In the midst of Halle’s beautiful countryside, flanked by old castles and the Saale River, the Zoo Garden Halle sits majestically upon a mountain overlooking the valley below. More than 1,700 animals in 250 species call him home. The twenty-two acre Zoo’s emphasis is on species and animals which are native to mountain regions all over the world. Visitors can also enjoy seeing endangered exotic animals such as elephants, sloths, anteaters, and squirrel monkeys. The architecture of the Zoo’s animal enclosures is visually-pleasing, giving his visitors the opportunity to easily get up close with lions, tigers and others behind panoramic windows. His natural geography makes him not only to Germanys only Mountain-Zoo but creates perfect vantage points high above many of his animal enclosures.
