With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Goslar, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Goslar Imperial Palace, Oker Dam and Burgberg Cable Car. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Schoeningen, 25 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Palaon - Research and Experience Centre Schoningen Spears. (But we’d also highly recommend Naturpark Elm Lappwald and St. Lorenz-Kirche.)
