The Braunschweig Jakobsweg - that is 270 kilometers of diverse landscape between Magdeburg, Helmstedt, Braunschweig, Hildesheim, and Höxter. It leads through the flat Börde over the ridges of Ith and Hils into the Weserbergland. "From water to water" – the path leads from the Elbe over Oker, Leine, and Aller to the Weser – and "from cathedral to cathedral and monastery to monastery." Thus, the Magdeburg Cathedral is as much a station as those in Königslutter or Hildesheim. Along the way, there are also 47 pilgrimage churches, and with Marienborn, one of the oldest pilgrimage sites in Germany is touched, as the holy spring of the same name was attributed a healing effect from the 12th century onwards. In between lies a charming landscape, with the hilly Magdeburg Börde, the Elm mountain range, the flat Hildesheim region with its wide sky, and finally the Weserbergland. But the path also connects East and West "and has reminded since the 25th year after the fall of the Berlin Wall of the precious treasure of peace" – and is an "ecumenical symbol with great power" that connects the Catholic dioceses with the Protestant regional churches.
Harbke itself has several tourist attractions to offer. An absolute highlight is Harbke Castle, an imposing baroque castle from the 18th century. Here you can not only admire the magnificent architecture, but also stroll through the adjacent castle park and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the place.
