The flower town of Blankenburg reveals a particularly enchanting side in autumn. Right on our doorstep, the famous Baroque palace gardens glow in warm shades of gold, copper, and red. Among artfully designed terraces, gently rustling leaves, fragrant autumn flowers, and babbling fountains, stone witnesses of centuries past invite you on a journey into history. A stroll through the historic terraced garden up to the Great Palace rewards you with a sweeping view across the autumnal Harz foothills.
The romantic old town also beckons with cozy cafés where you can warm up with a hot chocolate or a cup of tea. Strolling along cobblestone streets and past historic buildings, you'll experience the special flair of this time of year. Blankenburg not only impresses with its baroque gardens and urban charm, but also with its perfect location in the triangle formed by the Harz Mountains highlights of Wernigerode, Quedlinburg, and Thale. Whether you explore cultural treasures or enjoy nature in its colorful autumn attire – both experiences can be wonderfully combined here.
For hiking enthusiasts, the legendary Devil's Wall is a must-see: This fascinating sandstone natural monument is just a short walk from the hotel and offers impressive photo opportunities, especially in the warm autumn light. Whether you prefer active sports or a leisurely stroll, everyone will find their own personal autumn bliss here.
