Großalmerode Town Hall and Church

Highlight • Historical Site

A very interesting small town between scenic hills and valleys. Since the 1200s, this town has produced technical ceramics such as crucibles for glass and metal production. The town hall and the church are recommended stops. There is also a quite nice ice cream shop in the city to refresh while cycling
