Wurmberg Summit

Highlight • Summit

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 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.

Trail along the Warme Bode and Große Bode

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful section along the Warme Bode. The path always meanders parallel to the stream up to the Bärenbrücke and in many places you can go directly to the water. Some banks allow breaks along the way. The path is easy to walk throughout and is not particularly strenuous.

A wonderful walk through the forest next to the Bode… especially good early in the morning or in the evening when it's quieter.

July 8, 2025,Wurmberg – rondtocht vanuit de parkeerplaats Hexenstation

Walk with beautiful views from the slopes of the Wurmberg, good view of the Brocken. Sometimes you can hear the steam train of the Brocken from the mountain.
Many dead spruces give the landscape an alienated impression.
This has become visible since the drought and the massive destructive effect of a small longhorn beetle in 2019 caused the beautiful forests …

A spontaneous but very nice tour! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

The icy weather was cold, but the snow made everything even more beautiful. It was so cold that even the water in the drinking bladder froze.

Part of the route led along a wild river, which made the tour particularly exciting.

Started from the Relaxa Hotel Braunlage. We used the time window between rain and thunderstorms and made the lap over the 972 m high Wurmberg. First along the Große Bode on a narrow Waldofad, past the Bodener waterfalls, great path, then the terrain opens up and you go on a wider forest path towards Wurmberg. The last steep km's on …

When two YouTubers meet, they brave even the worst weather. They set off in cloudy weather and climbed up the Wurmberg in constant rain and strong wind. Perhaps because of the weather, they were able to take a few great photos. At the top of the mountain, it eventually cleared up and they headed back down the panoramic path in …

A round trip on and around Lower Saxony's highest mountain with a clear view of the Brocken. Sunny and not foggy today. Not everything promised was kept. 😉No bear at the bear bridge and no bad dog at the waypoint. 😂
And luckily not everything is as bleak as it might seem at first glance. An information board explains how …
