Huy

The municipality of Huy is located in Saxony-Anhalt, right on the border with Lower Saxony and in the foothills of the Harz Mountains. The entire region is now considered an insider tip for holidaymakers who want to explore beautiful landscapes - because that's exactly what Huy stands for. It is the caves, the monasteries, the ruins of castles and, last but not least, the many hiking trails that attract hikers and day trippers to the region in equal measure.

Discover the most beautiful sights in Huy

Aderstedt, Anderbeck, Badersleben, Dedeleben, Dingelstedt am Huy, Eilenstedt, Eilsdorf, Huy-Neinstedt, Pabstorf, Schlanstedt and Vogelsdorf are the districts that make up the municipality of Huy today. They all have a history, some of which dates back to well before the beginning of the Middle Ages.

Accordingly, many of the sights in the region are also linked to history. This can be seen at Huysburg Castle, for example. Today, it is a Benedictine monastery and offers space for contemplation and comprehensive exhibitions dealing with the history of the region.

The war towers are another attraction that should not be missed when visiting the municipality of Huy. The individual districts also offer historic town centres, churches and squares. In the local restaurants, you can savour the regional cuisine and experience the unique culture here on the border with the Harz Mountains.

Hikes and nature around the municipality of Huy

The Ice Age in particular has left its mark on the municipality of Huy. It is responsible for the hills, the many caves and many of the other natural wonders that visitors can experience here. Numerous plant species thrive in the nature reserve of the Huy ridges, with the Huy Forest displaying an impressive variety of leaf colours, especially in autumn, due to the high beech population. While Huy itself offers a variety of hiking trails through the beautiful natural surroundings, many hiking trails also start from here to other areas of the Harz Mountains. Cyclists and hikers alike can therefore base themselves here and begin their journey of discovery in the Harz.
