Germany - Lower Saxony

Zellerfeld

A Karen Brown Recommendation

At the top of the hill in Zellerfeld you find the Bergwerkmuseum, dedicated to mining in the Harz. Apart from displays of old-fashioned mining paraphernalia, rooms have been set up to give you a glimpse of eras long past showing how the miners lived and worked. Leaving the first museum, you cross a rustic courtyard to explore buildings full of old-fashioned wooden mine machinery and walk through a short length of underground mining tunnel. (9 am–  5 pm daily.) The blue-painted Marktkirche Zum Heiligen Geist (Holy Ghost Parish Church) with its stubby onion domes was built between 1636 and 1642 and is the largest wooden church in Germany.
