This is one of the best travel videos I've seen on youtube, well done! And perfect as I needed a place in that area and couldn't quite decide where, this sold me on a stop here. I'll give a follow. :)
Mistake in my Kommentar: it schould be : Today fewer people live here than in the medieval period. Thank you for the good tour guide...most interesting. I doubt if you will visit the Christmas Market in Wernigerode...I assume your baby will join the family and the Harz Mountains can be quite cold in Wernigerode in December.
Wernigerode. belongs to what one calls "middle Germany"...an area between the Harz Mountains and the River Elbe. Surprisingly this area war densely settled in 2500 BC but due to an unknown change, around 1600 BC the population moved away, burying their religious symbols like the Himmelsscheibe von Nebra. After Charlemagne fought many Saxon tribes northwest of the Harz Mountains up to Bremen in 800, many people moved to "middle Germany" and by 1100 it regained a dense population with cities like Magdeburg, Wernigerode, Quedlinburg and Erfurt...the largest cities in Germany. Up until 1648 more people lived here than in any other part of Germany. After the "30 years war" (1614-1648) over 70% of the population was either killed or force to leave "Middle Germany" and the area never recovered from this Desaster. Today Feier people live here than in the medievel period.
Wernigerode is very nice. Make sure you also visit Quedlinburg! This small city is just mind-blowing. 1000 years old, with lots of well-preserved, very old houses. FYI: I personally would avoid "vegan" meat products completely. It's full of chemicals to hold it together, make it look good, and make it tasty, but it is definitely not healthy for your body. There are so many naturally vegan dishes (like soups and stuff). Why on earth would you want to imitate meat?? If you really want an alternative to meat that tastes exactly like meat, try mushrooms! For instance, the parasol mushrooms are prepared exactly like a "Schnitzel" and taste exactly like it without all the unhealthy additives. BTW, if you drink vegan milk, watch "Oat Milk is literally a scam" here on UA-cam. It's true for all vegan milks, like almond, soy, etc. As a rule of thumb, avoid highly processed foods, and when they advertise something as "healthy" it is mostly the exact opposite.
We absolutely want to get to Quedlinburg, but we didn't make it on this trip! Thanks for the info on the vegan products. We'll check out the video for ourselves!
I've been to Wernigerode yesterday. Absolutely stunning! Geographically and architecturally a real gem!
Yes! it's absolutely incredible! We're glad you enjoyed it!
Tangermünde, in the North of Sachsen/Anhalt, is beautiful as well.
Thank you for the tip! We'll have to plan a trip!

Thank you for the historical information! It's super interesting! We love learning all the rich history in Germany!
The Harz became important from the 10th century on for its silver and mining was then extended to copper (Mansfeld region).
