Goslar is located right in the middle of the Harz region
Some five million tourists
visit this small town annually
to admire the medieval Old Town and the nearby Rammelsberg mine
Both are UNESCO World Heritage sites
The Old Town still has about 1500 half-timbered
buildings crowded into an area a mere square
In Market Square
there is a fountain surmounted by the imperial eagle
and every three hours, from 9 to 18,
a musical tribute to the miners of Rammelsberg
In the square there is also the Rathaus,
the town hall of the XV century
Next door is the Hotel Kaiserworth
Hotel is a perfect fit into this fairytale setting
Originally a guildhall built by wealthy cloth merchants in 1600
to dominate the marketplace and upstage the town hall
