Wurmberg
Hiking Highlight
The Wurmberg is the little brother of the Brocken. So they stand shoulder to shoulder, true to one another. When the weather is clear, you have a bombastic all-round view from the Wurmberg. In winter there are ski slopes here. If you want to do something for your calves and thighs, use the stairs at the ski jump.

Extremely rewarding view summit. Great view to Brocken. In addition to hiking trails, a cable car, a street and a metal staircase lead to the summit next to the old ski jump. Upstairs there are 2 restaurants and 2 playgrounds as well as a small artificial lake.

The Wurmberg is designed for tourism. There is an alpine pasture, a Baude, relaxation areas, playgrounds, you can drive Mosterroller and mountain biking. If you want to enjoy the Wurmberg, you should not do so in the peak times of the weekend or on holidays

Of course, as a passionate Harz hiker, you have to climb the highest mountain in Lower Saxony. However, the mountain is heavily used by tourists, so it may not be the best place for nature lovers. Skiing is practiced here in winter, and a large bike park is in operation in summer. Therefore, I recommend visiting the Wurmberg either very early in the morning or in the shoulder season when the lifts are closed. The ascent via the Grenzweg from the east is very nice and quiet, especially in winter.

The Brockenbahn can also be seen climbing the highest peak of the Harz with a steaming chimney.

A dream destination in every season. Why air travel, when it is so beautiful in northern Germany.

A leisure paradise that leaves nothing to be desired. A hike back to Braunlage takes about 1 hour. The paths are very easy to walk on. A bit you should pay attention to mountain bikers and Monsterrollerfahrer.

On my last visit, I missed the old tower. The completion of the new tower allows again an impressive view and enhances the Wurmberg as a hiking destination or highlight of a tour absolutely on.

The artificial lake created there is used in winter to supply the snow lances with chilled water and in summer the children can enjoy the water adventure world.
