Downhill in Braunlage
In Braunlage, Lower Saxony, just under 25 kilometres from Wernigerode, passionate downhill riders can also enjoy two special offers:
Bikepark Braunlage
The Braunlage Bike Park is located directly on the Wurmberg. It offers a total of more than ten kilometres of trails for cyclists looking for action and fun. The park is designed so that it can be used by beginners and advanced riders of all ages. Obstacles add to the fun, but can also be avoided by taking simple detours. About one third of the trails here are natural and make use of the geographical features of the Wurmberg. You can comfortably take the gondola lift up to the starting point. From there, you can choose between two different trails, which are steep at first and then flatten out as they descend.
Monsterroller Braunlage
Our visitors always have a lot of fun exploring the area around the Wurmberg on monster scooters! These are large kick scooters with wide studded tyres that can be used by adults and children aged 10 and above after a short briefing. The scooters and their riders can be transported up the mountain on the Wurmberg cable car. The fun begins with the descent, which takes you back down into the valley over a distance of around five kilometres. You determine the speed of the descent yourself, allowing you to experience the Wurmberg and nature either at a leisurely pace or with plenty of adrenaline and action. Advance booking is recommended!
