Clausthal-Zellerfeld is a former silver-mining town on the Upper Harz plateau, some 600 metres above sea level, and the seat of Clausthal University of Technology. TU Clausthal grew out of a mining academy founded in 1775 and remains one of Germany's most international universities relative to its size, with strengths in materials, energy, process engineering and computer science. The town's mining past is written into the landscape: the Upper Harz Water Management System of ponds, ditches and tunnels, built to drive the mine machinery, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Marktkirche zum Heiligen Geist in Clausthal is the largest wooden church in Germany. Goslar lies 20 km north on the edge of the range, Braunschweig about 70 km beyond.

Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Clausthal-Zellerfeld — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.
