Walking in the Harz Mountains: Including Walks from the Harz Narrow Gauge Railway 
Fleur Speakman, Colin Speakman
The Harz Mountains, Germany's most northerly mountainous region, is a paradise for walkers. As rich in natural beauty as in legend, this is one of the most accessible areas in Germany for the walker. It is easy to reach by road and rail from North Sea ports, served by excellent local transport, with a choice of accommodation and criss-crossed by superbly waymarked forest and hill paths, to make walking a delight even for the least experienced. Saxon Kings and Princes sought minerals in the region, creating towns whose medieval splendour survives. Around the legendary Brocken is one of Europe's newest and most distinctive National Parks. Wild boar, deer and wild cats still roam the ancient forests and deep gorges. You'll also find Europe's largest and most extensive narrow gauge steam railway network, a delight for railbuffs and nostalgics alike, providing superb, car-free access to some of the area's finest walking country. Until 1989 this land was divided by The Iron Curtain. Now the East Harz remains a region emerging from a time warp.

The Hanoverians: The History of a Dynasty  -   Jeremy Black
George, the elector of Hanover, inherited the throne of Great Britain on the death of Queen Anne in 1714. George I and his son, George II, continued to spend much time in Germany, insisting on the interests of Hanover influencing on British foreign policy. Lacking the popular touch and perceived as foreigners, they drew little affection from their subjects, though George II survived the dynasty's greatest crisis of the invasion of England by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745. George II's grandson, George III, reigned for sixty years (1760 -1820), presiding over Britain's conquest of India and Canada and its loss of the American colonies. His son, George IV, Prince Regent during his father's madness, drew scandal to the monarchy. The death of William IV , the 'Sailor King', in 1837 brought his niece Victoria to the throne. The Hanoverians, in a series of personal portraits, shows how these kings, though constitutional monarchs, continued to exert considerable influence, crystallising politics and society.
