Rules of conduct in the Harz National Park: The code of conduct for visiting the national park area With several million visitors a year, a natural paradise needs rules that provide plants and animals with adequate protection and that guarantee that you can continue to enjoy the legendary mountain wilderness undisturbed in the future. We have detailed information on this available for you in all national park information facilities. Please understand that we have to punish gross violations of the National Park Act as administrative offences. In the national park there is a trail requirement. That means: Stay on the signposted hiking trails. There are around 600 kilometers of this alone, which lead through fascinating landscapes and to magnificent vantage points. Do not leave your rubbish in the forest, but please use the rubbish and recycling bins at the end of your hike. More than 1,000 bags of rubbish have to be collected every year along the paths in the Harz National Park. But carelessly thrown away packaging can easily kill animals! When they mistake the rubbish for food and eat it, when they get entangled in it and can't get out, or when they use plastic rubbish to build nests that are so watertight that their young drown in them when it rains! Dogs are very welcome in the Harz National Park, but please only on a leash. Even our most faithful companion can become weak if he gets his nose at deer calf or lynx. Spare the wild animals the dangerous rush and your dog the danger of disappearing between often meter-deep granite chasms. Important request: Take the filled dog waste bags back with you, they really have no place in the forest. Don't take anything out of the national park that naturally belongs there. Every animal and every plant has its place in the natural cycle in the protected area. This is especially true for berries and mushrooms. Do not light a fire in the national park! This also includes BBQ and outdoor cookware. Reason: Even in cold weather, fire spreads quickly. Every year, valuable areas are destroyed by fire. Please refrain from smoking in the national park due to the risk of forest fires between February 15th and October 31st. There is also a year-round ban on setting off fireworks in the entire national park area and accordingly also on the Brockenkuppe. Both the popping and the light and glare are serious threats to the animal world, which is often at its limit, especially in winter. The operation of remote-controlled aircraft (e.g. drones) is prohibited in nature reserves and therefore also in the entire national park area. Camping in the national park is not permitted. Take advantage of the official offers. Cycling is allowed on almost all hiking trails. Please note: Hikers have priority. Only a few paths are closed to cycling - mostly because the paths are really not suitable for bicycles. Further information and notes on closed routes can be found here. Riding is only permitted on marked trails. Tip: generally behave as calmly as possible in nature. Your chances of spotting wildlife can only increase as a result. Perhaps you should visit one of the wildlife observation stations in the national park? And of course very important: Beware of falling branches and tripping hazards such as roots or rocks. No visits to the forest during a storm and also a few days afterwards! There is then an acute danger to life and limb, as branches can fall or trees that have already been damaged can be uprooted. Therefore, please pay attention to information and road closures here on the website or directly in the area and take them seriously for your own safety!
