Directions

Follow the symbol of hike 10 from the parking lot at the valley station of the Wurmberg cable car along the Warme Bode. The path leads you past the Lower and Upper Bode Waterfalls and through parts of the Harz National Park. You pass the Brockenstein, the shelter at the Stieglitzecke, and the reservoir before you reach the Wurmberg summit. From here, on a clear day, you have an especially beautiful view of the Brocken and the surroundings. 
You begin the descent from the Wurmberg heading towards Großer Winterberg. On the saddle between Wurmberg and Großer Winterberg, you walk a part on the Harzer Grenzweg, which runs along the former inner-German border. At the level of the Hexenritt parking lot, you leave the Harzer Grenzweg and continue following the signage of route 10. The path leads you past the mid-station of the Wurmberg cable car back to the starting point.
