Buntenbock is an old merchant village in the Harz national park surrounded by extensive forests and a landscape dotted with many clear lakes, streams and gently rolling hills. The people have welcomed visitors for generations and are friendly and easy going. The next town, Clausthal-Zellerfeld is a small university town but has a long history of mining. The old houses - and even churches- are mainly built out of wood and brightly painted.
In Buntenbock, you will find a village shop, a butcher, restaurants, and in summer a small village market. Clausthal is only 5 minutes drive away and has a wide choice of shops and restaurants plus a weekly evening market.
The Harz is the highest mountain range in northern Germany. Buntenbock is 550 metres above sea level: the highest mountain, the Brocken – in local folklore associated with witchcraft – is 1142m. Around the Harz there are many old and picturesque market towns including some UNESCO world heritage sites.
