Braunlage

Located at 620 meters in the Harz mountains, Braunlage extends across 31 square kilometers of forested terrain with granite formations and natural trails.

Initially documented in 1227 as Brunla, Braunlage developed from a mining settlement into an industrial center with ironworks established by Blankenburg counts in 1561.

The municipality organizes the annual Natur-Mensch art exhibition, which brings together regional artists to display their interpretations of local landscapes and traditions.

The Wurmberg Gondola Lift, installed in 1963, provides year-round access to numerous skiing slopes and hiking paths across the northern German mountains.

The municipal territory incorporates nine distinct settlements, including Sankt Andreasberg and Hohegeiß, each maintaining their individual character within the administrative structure.
