The Harz Narrow Gauge Railways have the largest network of narrow-gauge steam railways in Europe and have been classified as historic monuments since 1972. With a fleet of 25 steam trains, the oldest dating from 1897, 16 diesel engines and over 140 km of tracks, they connect the towns of Wernigerode, Nordhausen & Quedlinburg.
​
The network can be divided into three principal railways; the Harz Railway, which connects Wernigerode to Nordhausen, then the Selke Valley Railway which forks off the Harz Railway to arrive in Quedlinburg and finally, the Brocken Railway.

Quedlinburg is located on the northeastern edge of the Harz Mountains, it is known as an almost 1100-year-old half-timbered city full of Romanesque buildings, medieval walls and towers. The town has over 2,000 half-timbered houses and villas spanning eight centuries, making it one of the best examples of a medieval European town. Quedlinburg was the capital of the East Franconian German Empire during the Saxonian-Ottonian ruling dynasty and was also ruled by women for 800 years, from 966 to 1802.
Goslar is a medieval imperial town nestled in glorious natural surroundings on the slopes of the Harz Mountains. History is visible all around Goslar, from well-preserved half-timbered houses to the Romanesque Imperial Palace elevated over this thousand year old city. Other delights include Market Church St. Cosmas and Damian which feature 13th-Century stained-glass windows, in this fairy tale place.
