Every year at night on Apr. 30 across to May 01, there's an activity called the Witches Night, and there's a story about it. In ancient time on Apr. 30, the witches in mountain Harz will celebrate the end of the Winter and welcome the Spring to come with some devils. Until now, the celebration has become a happy ceremony and has been a kind of spreading happiness. And that's why I chose this day to come~! The night of course!
In this city, you'll see most of the houses were built before 1850, so it's a kind of special attraction of this city, so... enjoy!

The scary thing happened.................
When I checked in, the staff told me that the Witches Night is cancelled this year in Goslar. But there's still some towns had the activities. So I went to take a bus to the nearby town, Hahnenklee. It was a very small town that I thought there's only a small lake and... that's all!! When I got there, you'll see the activity just next to the lake. And of course, the witches and evils were everywhere around you. Actually, it's like a small concert and everyone just be there and have something to drink and eat.
 |
| As you can see, the bus station was quite easy to be ignored.......... |
 |
| you have to pay 5 euros to get in the party |
 |
| the girl was so cute~! |
 |
| WOW...... |
 |
| the Handbrot |
 |
| the lake was so quiet |
 |
| bier with the concert was just perfect! |
Oh! I forgot to say one thing interesting about the bier. When I bought this bier, the waitress asked me to show my passport............ It was the first time to show my passport to buy the bier in Germany....
 |
| You know what? These witches were already over 60s I thought, but they danced with the music, so cute!! |
 |
| The band was preparing. |
 |
| Going to start! |
 |
| These kids...... |
 |
| WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dog was......so tall!!!!!! |
 |
| Closing to night as the sky getting darker, you can feel the atmosphere here is getting higher~!! |
 |
| There were some guys selling Wurst mit Broetchen. |
 |
| At night, you can't imagine such a small town was so beautiful~!! |
 |
| Because it's in mountain Harz, so you'll see some of these rocks along the roads in the cities in Harz. |
The activity would continue until midnight, but I didn't want to stay so late, so I left at 9:30 p.m....@@
In my opinion, if you want to come, it would be better with friends because it would be higher~!
Good night, Harz. Happy Witches Night~!
