Herzberg am Harz is a town in southern Niedersachsen, Germany.
Herzberg am Harz lies right next to the Harz, Germany's northernmost mountain range. Herzberg also markets itself as an "Esperanto-Stadt" (Herzberg – la Esperanto-urbo) on account of the Esperantist activity in the area. In 2017 a square was named after Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, on occasion of the hundredth anniversary of his death.
Herzberg castle was first mentioned in 1154. The town was part of the state of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, and the castle was for some time used as a residence by the dukes. Herzberg became a city in 1929.
The town has a train station, 51.6439°, 10.33012°. with regular regional trains to Göttingen, Nordhausen and Braunschweig.

About a 70 km drive away you find Kassel-Calden airport, which receives a very limited number of flights and is thus probably not your best bet in arriving here. Another airport with limited connections (though not as limited as Kassel) can be found near Erfurt. The closest somewhat major international airports are in Hanover (IATA: HAJ) and the one serving Halle and Leipzig (IATA: LEJ). When arriving from further away, flying into Frankfurt Airport (IATA: FRA) and taking the train (change in Göttingen) might work out cheaper or even faster. See air rail alliances.
As could be expected by a town calling itself "Esperanto-City" all public schools and a few non-school institutions offer Esparanto classes. If you want to take a course as a visitor, you can go to
