Tips

Romy von Etappen-Wandern

February 3, 2021

The highest mountain in Lower Saxony, the Wurmberg, is known beyond the state's borders. As is so often the case, however, the runner-up is in the shadow of the limelight. The Bruchberg is also not particularly attractive at around 927 meters, as it is nothing more than a loosely wooded plateau. Not even a hiking trail leads up. However, it does have an extraordinary secondary peak, the Wolfswarte. It is about 700 meters away and has an exceptionally exposed location. The woodless summit is rugged and particularly promising. From its rocks, hikers have a fantastic view of the Brocken and the other surrounding mountains. Incidentally, it does not have its name exclusively: there are three Wolfswarten in the Harz Mountains. Many years ago, they were used as a point by hunters to hunt baited wolves.

The ascent to the control room takes place on a stepped, root-rich and often wet path. Wear waterproof shoes after heavy rainfall.

The best way to reach the summit is via the Butterstieg from Altenau. But also the other ways are really nice, since here no wood industry is operated. Highly recommended is also the flood-trench path with very beautiful views of Brocken, Achtermann and Wurmberg.

From the bizarre cliff you have a fantastic view of Altenau, Schulenberg and the Okertalsperre.
Oh yes, a little bit too
