Großer Kurfürst offers a strong Harz Mountains feel—look for a monument/overlook framed by dense forest and ridgelines, ideal for atmospheric landscapes. Best light is sunrise (cool, directional) or sunset when the slopes glow; expect crowds on weekends. Accessible via Bad Harzburg trails; parking is easiest in town, then walk.
