Alte Bobbahn

The Alte Bobbahn trail follows the path of a former bobsled track through the dense forests of the Harz mountains, featuring varying elevations and natural surroundings.

Originally constructed in the 1920s for winter sports competitions, this bobsled track remained operational until the 1980s before being transformed into a hiking path.

The trail connects visitors to the winter sports heritage of Wernigerode, where local residents maintain stories of past competitions and athletic achievements.

Visitors can access the trail throughout the year, with designated parking areas available near the starting point and multiple rest spots along the route.

Natural vegetation now grows through the remaining concrete structures of the former bobsled track, creating an unusual combination of sports infrastructure and forest environment.
