Warm Bode The path to the Bear Bridge leads through the source valley of the Warm Bode. © Mark ZahelPhoto: Mark Zahel, Rother Bergverlag
In the Lower Saxon part of the Harz, the Wurmberg rises the highest – not quite up to 1000 meters above sea level, but still very scenic. Of course, the Brocken is prominently in view opposite. On clear days, you can see far beyond the edges of the Harz. Those who want to climb the Wurmberg on their own power rather than taking the cable car should be prepared for a bit of a detour. The most beautiful sections are in the idyllic gorge of the Warm Bode as well as partly along the Kuhlagerweg. However, you have to live with the mass tourism takeover of the summit.
From the Wurmbergbahn in Braunlage, initially towards Brockenwegschanze, just before which cross the arched bridge to the left side of the Warm Bode, where a beautiful, natural path runs. You stay close to the babbling brook that shows smaller steps at the Lower and Upper Bode Waterfalls. After about an hour, we cross the Bärenbrücke at a shelter, approx. 708 m, and continue the ascent on the right side of the gorge via a forest road (no. 35D). We reach the location "Böser Hund" and shortly thereafter the ridge line with the Ulmer Weg. Now right towards the Wurmberg, first across a clearing at the edge of the Wurmberg Moor, then partly through spruce stands and finally fully up the rather cozy Kuhlagerweg to the summit complex on the Wurmberg, 971 m.The descent is initiated via a long metal staircase beside the Wurmbergschanze – you can also take the steep zigzag trail immediately to the right of it. At the exit to the trail house and via no. 35K to the right onto the wide, gravelled

Mark Zahel
Mark Zahel hat als fleißiger Wanderer und Bergsteiger bisher mehr als 3000 Tage auf Alpentouren verbracht und schöpft aus dieser Passion seit über 20 Jahren eine intensive publizistische Tätigkeit. Die Liste seiner Buchveröffentlichungen umfasst inzwischen rund 80 Titel – in jüngster Zeit sind auch einige Wanderführer über norddeutsche Regionen hinzugekommen. Seine Kenntnisse reichen über weite Teile des Alpenbogens, besonders häufig aber ist er in dem breiten Streifen zwischen Bayern und Südtirol unterwegs. Zahel vergleicht seine Erkundungen gern mit einem Puzzlespiel, dem immer wieder neue Teile hinzugefügt werden, ohne dass es jemals »vollendet« werden könnte oder sollte. So bleibt die persönliche Entdeckungslust ungebrochen, während sich das »Gesamtbild« nach und nach immer detailreicher herausschärft.
