With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Schoeningen, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Palaon - Research and Experience Centre Schoningen Spears, Naturpark Elm Lappwald and St. Lorenz-Kirche. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Südharz, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Schloss Stolberg. (But we’d also highly recommend Aussichtsturm Josephskreuz and Ancient Coin Museum.)
