Our motto: cooperation instead of confrontation. No more North, East, South and West Harz - we are THE Harz and Harzspots is the link.
Our vision: Harzspots should be a solidarity community of all partner companies with the aim of promoting themselves but also each other in order to further increase the economic strength as well as the tourist attractiveness of the Harz region. From the Harz, for the Harz.
Harzspots is the perfect navigation tool for everyone when it comes to excursion destinations, accommodation, restaurants, cultural sites and attractions, but also hiking and cycling trails in the Harz.

"I have been successfully investing in the Harz Mountains since 2014 in holiday homes (Bergwaldlodges, -suites & -chalets) as well as an Italian gastronomy (Montevino). I have learned to love and appreciate the region and its people and have made it my task, together with my Harzspots team, to develop with heart and passion the portal harzspots.com, which I acquired in 2021, into THE perfect digital navigation aid for the guest, visitor, holidaymaker but also the local "Harzers"."

"There is no second chance for the first impression. A high quality of photos on your website is half the booking. I'm Rens Zwanenburg, Dutch and I've been living in Schierke since 2018. I attended the photo academy. Photography is my passion, whether it's object or landscape photography. Therefore, it stands to reason that I am also responsible for photography at Harzspots. If you would like attractive photos for your business or other motifs, please feel free to contact us."

„Seit sechs Jahren lebe ich im Harz und habe in dieser Region meine Wahlheimat gefunden. Die Schönheit der Natur und die Geschichte dieser Gegend haben mich von Anfang an fasziniert. Als ich von Harzspots hörte, war es mir eine große Freude, dem Team beizutreten und meine Social-Media-Kenntnisse, insbesondere im Bereich Instagram, einzubringen. Meine Motivation, für Harzspots zu arbeiten, liegt in der festen Überzeugung, dass der Harz viel zu bieten hat. Durch meine Arbeit im Social-Media-Bereich möchte ich dazu beitragen, die Einzigartigkeit, Vielfalt und kulturelle Bedeutung des Harzes einem breiteren Publikum näherzubringen. Mein Ziel ist es, Menschen dazu zu inspirieren, den Harz zu erkunden und zu erleben – sei es seine Naturschönheiten, historischen Stätten oder kulturellen Schätze. Der Harz ist ein beeindruckendes Reiseziel und soll als dieses auch wahrgenommen werden. “

"Someone has to take the rap for the technology, too: Martin. He's been in the business as a provider for over 20 years and is therefore an old hand (as his mirror says in the morning). He makes sure that everything works, that new features are added all the time and that everything is designed in an appetising way.

"The somewhat deeper corporate films from the heart - that's the standard we set for ourselves at ex animo MEDIA. For this, no path is too far, no sunrise too early and no scene too risky for us. For several years now, we have been the agency in the Harz region for professional image films, employer branding films, product commercials, event aftermovies and HarzSpots listing films in Netflix look. Together we'll put your hotel, restaurant or leisure adventure in just the right light!"
Markus Gründel
"I have been hiking in the Harz mountains since I was a child. With the success of my books on geocaching, I was able to turn my hobby into a profession. I set up my base camp in Altenau many years ago. From here I collect GPS data of tours, stamp sites, refuges for various projects, which I report on my blog. Our beautiful Harz Mountains are close to my heart and so for many years I have been organising activities such as litter picking with "my" geocachers in and with the National Park. This is the perfect way for me to get involved with Harzspots."
Leon Grage
