Wurmberg Ski Jump The Wurmberg Ski Jump was the largest ski jump in the Harz Mountains. It was located about 80 meters east of and a few meters below the Wurmberg summit. Its outrun faced northeast toward the Grosser Winterberg (906.4 meters) near Schierke in neighboring Saxony-Anhalt. The ski jump tower had an observation platform (see below). It was built in 1922 as a 40-meter hill. Ski jumping events continued to take place there during the Cold War, even though the border fortifications to the GDR were just a few meters behind the outrun. The ski jump was first rebuilt in 1951 and, after many years, expanded to an 80-meter hill in 1984. In 1991, it was expanded to an 83-meter hill. During the last reconstruction of the ski jump in 2001/2002, it was completely renovated and expanded to a 90-meter hill. The new metal inrun track (heated) with a glass-ceramic coating offered all jumpers equal conditions during the approach. From 1996 to 2011, international ski jumping competitions for the FIS Continental Cup were held there every year when snow conditions were suitable. In June 2014, Braunlage's mayor, Stefan Grote, ordered the demolition of the structure. The reason given was the alarming condition of the building's structure, which "threatened collapse during the next hurricane." Structural problems had also been known for some time, which is why renovation was temporarily considered. The construction of a new ski jump seems unrealistic; a new tower with an observation platform at a height of 1,000 meters is planned. The dismantling of the Wurmberg ski jump was completed at the end of August 2014. Plans for a new building, expected to cost around €8.5 million, have been underway since 2018.

The Warme Bode is a barrage-free river in the High Harz region. It forms north of Braunlage from the confluence of the Großer and Kleiner Bode. The approximately five-kilometer-long Große Bode rises in the Bodebruch in the national park area east of Oderbrück, about one kilometer from the source of the Kalter Bode at an elevation of approximately 840 meters above sea level. The Kleine Bode, which rises at the foot of the Achtermannshöhe at an elevation of approximately 770 meters, is only about half as long. About one kilometer below the Bärenbrücke (Bär Bridge), the waters of the Große Bode overcome the Oberer Bode Waterfall. Shortly thereafter, it joins the Kleine Bode to form the Warme Bode. A few hundred meters further downstream, the waters of the Warme Bode plunge down the Unterer Bode Waterfall. After a short distance, the Warme Bode reaches Braunlage. There, its important tributary, the Ulrichswasser, flows in from the west. It then turns eastward, still within the city limits of Braunlage. The Warme Bode now meanders through the river valley it created. Approximately two kilometers beyond Braunlage, the Bremke, which rises on the Wurmberg, flows into the Warme Bode, and after about another three kilometers, the Brunnenbach joins it. The Warme Bode then flows north past Sorge and, after another two kilometers, through the town of Tanne. There, the river turns northeast and flows through its relatively expansive valley toward Königshütte. This wide and very picturesque river valley offers ample space for countless other sweeping meanders. Beyond Tanne, the Allerbach flows into the Warme Bode, and just over a kilometer before Königshütte, the water-rich Spielbach joins it. In Königshütte, at the foot of the mountain with the ruins of the Königsburg castle, it joins the Kalte Bode, which flows from the north and is two degrees cooler, to form the Bode. From the source area of the Große Bode in the Bodebruch to its confluence with the Kalte Bode, the water travels a distance of approximately 23 kilometers, climbing about 400 meters in altitude. In addition to the larger tributaries mentioned above, countless other small rivers and, in some cases, unnamed streams flow into the Warme Bode along this route.

Course of the Warme Bode: After the confluence of its source streams, the Warme Bode flows into Braunlage via the Lower Bodefall. At the northern edge of the town, the Ulrichswasser flows into it from the northwest, followed further by the Schultalwasser. Southeast of Braunlage, the "White Bridges" are reached. In the widening river valley, the Bremke flows into the Warme Bode from the north at the former Fuchsfarm. The Bremke determines the direction of the river. From here on, the course of the Warme Bode forms the border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt (former inner-German border). Where the Warme Bode leaves Lower Saxony, the Brunnenbach flows into the Warme Bode from the west, also determining its course at this point. The Bode now flows further into Saxony-Anhalt towards Sorge. From the state border with Saxony-Anhalt, it runs parallel to the B242 federal highway through Tanne. The Warme Bode now flows through a lovely valley and then joins the Kalte Bode near Königshütte, below the ruins of Königsburg, to form the Bode.
