On the Wurmberg, you have several beautiful views of the Brocken. E.g. from the summit cross, from the start of the bike route, when you walk around the reservoir ..

Unfortunately, the HWN special stamp Jägermeister is no longer available here. Due to constant vandalism, it was removed. According to the internet, you can apparently pick it up in Wernigerode.

Great place for young and old, upstairs there is even a small adventure playground by the pond.

Very steep but special path upwards towards the Wurmberg. You climb quickly and also quickly enjoy particularly beautiful views over the rest of the Harz.
