Wurmberg Cable Car Upper Station

Highlight • Rest Area

If you don't want to or can't climb up, you still have the opportunity to marvel at the world from above.

From the top station of the Wurmberg Bahn, you have plenty of opportunities to enjoy mountain biking. You can start longer tours here or try out the tracks in the bike park Braunlage. Four routes start directly up here and lead down to the valley station. From there you can let yourself be brought up by mountain railway to the top. If you put the end of your tour here, you could strengthen yourself at a stop on the Wurmberg Alm and then enjoy the final descent.

Wurmberg Mountain Adventure World

Highlight • Rest Area

It's beautiful on the Wurmberg. Strollers, carts, walkers, and the like are all taken on the cable car. It's a place for all generations. There's something for everyone.

The stamping point for the HWN (Hungarian Winter Wonderland) is opposite the Wurmberg Alm.
The view is magnificent, but also saddening. The state of the Harz Mountains is clearly visible from here.

View of the Brocken

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is impossible to avoid looking over to the Brocken when we are standing on the Wurmberg. There is nothing to be done in the fog and we can see - nothing. So we just have to imagine the otherwise uplifting view. And hopefully we have all gotten more or less used to the spruce trees destroyed by the bark beetle. The forest is already in the process of rebuilding and will surely surprise us with a new face over the years.

Wurmberg Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

In winter, the snowmaking system for the ski slopes is fed from this storage basin. In summer you can rest on benches at the edge and enjoy the view.
