March 31, 2024,Wanderung zum Ostermahl auf den Wurmberg

We had a bit of rain on the way there, but at the start in Braunlage the sun came out more and more ☀️. It was a nice tour to the Wurmberg and the Easter meal we brought with us with a small wine tasted delicious.

The Wurmberg is much more than just a mountain. At just over 971 meters, it is the highest peak in Lower Saxony. But it is also a real grab bag of experiences and sensory impressions. This diverse mountain adventure world therefore poses the question for visitors as to where to start. If you are visiting the Wurmberg in the Harz …

We went down a lot of stairs. Then we stopped at the toboggan house. We sat outside in the sun on the first day of Advent 🌞. Wonderful. Beautiful …

October 9, 2022,Höchsten Berg Niedersachsens (Wurmberg) bezwungen 😃🤸‍♂️💪✔️

Form test at the end of rehab. The chunk wasn't feasible, won't you come to the west anymore 😤 so choose the Wurmberg...
At the Bode it slowly went up through the forest. Then the trees became rare, only open space. Upstairs at the summiteer, I thought briefly about going down with the monster scooter, but reason prevailed. Absolutely awesome …

July 13, 2024,Rundtur - Braunlage-Wurmberg (971m)-Braunlage

Can recommend going up that way as shown here, as the climb is not so hard from this side.
When you reach the top, you have to go past the tower and on the left hand side there is now a steel staircase that you can take down, this is easier than the small path that is there.

To greet everyone and warm up, I want to hurriedly climb the Wurmberg, so I approach from behind and quickly tackle the stairs at the old Wurmberg ski jump as a little workout.
