Wolfswarte

Highlight • Summit

The highest mountain in Lower Saxony, the Wurmberg, is known beyond the state's borders. As is so often the case, however, the runner-up is in the shadow of the limelight. The Bruchberg is also not particularly attractive at around 927 meters, as it is nothing more than a loosely wooded plateau. Not even a hiking trail leads up. However, it does have an extraordinary secondary peak, the Wolfswarte. It is about 700 meters away and has an exceptionally exposed location. The woodless summit is rugged and particularly promising. From its rocks, hikers have a fantastic view of the Brocken and the other surrounding mountains. Incidentally, it does not have its name exclusively: there are three Wolfswarten in the Harz Mountains. Many years ago, they were used as a point by hunters to hunt baited wolves.

The ascent to the control room takes place on a stepped, root-rich and often wet path. Wear waterproof shoes after heavy rainfall.

Nabentaler Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Since the Nabental waterfall almost exclusively carries water from the Clausthaler Flutgraben and has only a very small catchment area of its own, it can be viewed as an artificially created structure that was created in 1827. The waterway Clausthaler Flutgraben - Nabentaler Wasserfall - Nabetaler Graben was laid out to feed more water to the dam ditch. Nabetaler Graben and Dammgraben are part of the Upper Harz Water Management World Heritage Site.
