Cold-water clarity, four wrecks, and a sunken city at the gateway to the Harz

Nordhausen is reached most easily by road. Drivers approaching on the A38 leave for Nordhausen, follow the B4 toward the city, then use the operator's final approach to Uthleber Weg 27 beside Sundhäuser See. Rail travelers arrive at Nordhausen Hauptbahnhof and need a taxi, local pickup, or rental car for the final lake transfer. A car is strongly preferable for teams carrying cylinders, drysuits, and camping gear. From outside Germany, Erfurt-Weimar is the nearest airport, while Leipzig/Halle offers a broader rail-and-road alternative. Always check live road and rail notices because construction and timetable changes are common.
A car is the practical default. It simplifies airport arrival, the last leg from Nordhausen, cylinders, camping equipment, and side trips into the Harz.
