Axel Klingenberg embarks on a literary journey through the Harz region, visiting mines, caves, half-timbered towns, forests, snack stalls, and blooming landscapes, all while keeping a satirical eye on the people he encounters. Daring rides through the history of this mountain range, from prehistoric times to the aftermath of reunification, round off the book, which presents a very different image of the Harz than what is typically shown in standard travel guides. One cannot help but describe the old town of Goslar as beautiful, which is why a tourist guide blocks the way every 20 meters. Countless modern artworks also obstruct the path, often depicting a head that is either pierced, nailed, or simply lying down, yet almost always exuding a certain monumentality. Therefore, the skulls blend quite well into the cityscape that radiates imperial dignity and bourgeois wealth, even though they stand in a certain contrast to it due to their modernity.
