The narrow-gauge railway Walkenried – Braunlage with the branch to Tanne was a narrow-gauge railway opened in 1899 in meter gauge in the Harz Mountains. In 1963 the last section of the line was closed. The Südharz Railway Company (SHE) was always in charge of the operation.

Course:
The branch line to Tanne left the Brunnenbachsmühle station in a southerly direction and ran about 400 meters parallel to the line to Walkenried. After about two kilometers, the Brunnenbach was crossed on an iron bridge. Then Reichsstrasse (today Bundesstrasse) 242 was crossed. Then the route ran parallel to the road to Sorge. At distance kilometers 3.7 the Warme Bode and thus later the inner-German border was crossed on a stone arch bridge (PHOTO).
Then it went through the valley of the Warmen Bode to Sorge. The SHE crossed the Elend-Sorge road and the NWE route on one bridge each. The difference in height between the two tracks was around seven meters. In 1913 a track connection was laid between the two stations.

After 1945, this line was cut by the inner-German border and traffic was interrupted.
