KREATIV - that stands for "Culture Regional development through attractiveness, tourist infrastructure and networking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site »Rammelsberg Mine, Old Town of Goslar and Upper Harz Water Management«.

In the period from 2017 to 2023, the project made the large-scale UNESCO World Heritage site more visible to locals and guests and more accessible on various levels in accordance with UNESCO's "World Heritage Educational Mission". The aim was to open up the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Harz Mountains for sustainable cultural tourism use by significantly increasing the attractiveness and improving the quality of the supra-regionally important tourist infrastructure.
