Wernigerode Miniature Park: discover the highlights of the Harz in miniature

Would you like to discover the most beautiful sights of the region in a short time during your holiday in the Harz? Then the Wernigerode Miniature Park, also known as Kleiner Harz, is recommended. Here you will walk past dozens of famous castles, churches, town halls and other iconic buildings from the Harz, all accurately recreated to scale. The park is fun for young and old and is an ideal combination of relaxation, nature and culture.

The Harz in miniature

In the Miniature Park you can admire more than 60 well-known buildings and monuments from the Harz, built on a scale of 1:25. In a short time you will walk past Wernigerode Castle, the Imperial Palace of Goslar, the Halberstadt Cathedral and the Brocken with the characteristic transmission tower. The famous steam train of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways also runs through the miniature landscape, making everything look even more realistic. The miniatures are made with great attention to detail. From roof tiles and windows to trees, streams and rock formations: everything has been carefully recreated. This makes a walk through the park not only fun, but also surprisingly educational.

More than just a miniature park

The Miniature Park is part of the spacious Bürgerpark Wernigerode. One entrance ticket gives you access to both parks. This means you can easily spend half or even a whole day in this green environment. In the Bürgerpark you will find colorful theme gardens, a large playground for children, an animal meadow, ponds and hiking trails, a restaurant with terrace and various viewpoints over Wernigerode and the Harz. For families, this is a nice place where children can play while adults enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Fun for children and adults

Children especially find the moving steam train, bridges, streams and small buildings fascinating. Adults recognize many sights that they may have already visited or still want to visit during their holiday. This makes the park a nice source of inspiration for further excursions in the Harz. During the season you can also take a look at the workshop, where new miniatures are built and existing models are maintained. This way you can see how much craftsmanship lies behind every detail.

Combine with a visit to Wernigerode

After visiting the Miniature Park, it is worthwhile to explore the historic center of Wernigerode. Walk past the colorful half-timbered houses, visit the impressive castle or take a ride on the steam train towards the Brocken. Thanks to the short distance, these attractions can easily be combined with each other.
