About Campsite Knaus Campingpark Walkenried in Walkenried

Campingpark Walkenried is set in the heart of rural Germany, in Lower Saxony, on the edge of the stunning Harz nature reserve with its endless forests, lakes, and rolling hills. The campsite features its own 0.3-hectare lake and a heated indoor swimming pool. It enjoys a peaceful location on the eastern edge of Walkenried in the southern Harz region.

Swimming, walking, cycling: the choice is yours
