Bear Bridge over the Große Bode

Highlight • Bridge

Located on the Grosser Bode, a junction of many paths and hikes.

Our shelters in the Harz National Park are usually located in places worth seeing and are therefore popular hiking destinations. They serve as a short-term rest and break option and as protection in the event of bad weather. Overnight stays are only permitted in an emergency. In the interest of everyone, whether human or animal, our shelters must be kept clean.

Brocken Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The HSB (Harzer Schmalspurbahnen) have parked a (red) tank car with extinguishing water on the Brocken for possible accidents. The wagon stands on a trolley, in winter it goes into the valley.
This tank car was only in Drei Annen Hohne and was subsequently marked by the HSB.
It is used solely for the extinguishing agent reserve and is shut down again in winter.

Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Harz above the tree line. Certainly not the most exciting climb on a mountain bike, but still a must, simply because it's there. ;-)

On the old patrol plates it goes along the former border. But beware: up to 16% slope bite on the thighs 🦵

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.
