Bocksberg

Bocksberg, Mountain summit in the Harz, Lower Saxony, Germany

Bocksberg is a 727 m high mountain in the Upper Harz, the local mountain of Hahnenklee-Bockswiese in the borough of Goslar, Lower Saxony. Its summit carries a wooden observation tower built in 1976, called Brockenblick, with an adjoining mountain restaurant of 130 seats. A 1,100 m gondola lift built in 1970 runs up from Hahnenklee at 560 m, and since 2014 a 946 m chairlift runs parallel to it.

After World War II, the United States Army operated a radio relay station on the mountain to support communications between Frankfurt and Berlin. This military installation was an important part of the area's post-war history.

The summit serves as a gathering place where visitors come to hike, ski, and ride mountain bikes depending on the season. People of all ages enjoy the outdoor activities the location offers.

Access to the summit is convenient via cable car, which accommodates hikers, mountain bikers, and winter sports enthusiasts alike. It is advisable to check seasonal offerings, as activities change based on weather and time of year.

The Bocksbergbob, a rail-guided Alpine Coaster from Josef Wiegand GmbH, opened on 6 July 2012 beside the cable car line. Its track runs 1,250 metres, cost about 1.5 million euros and is fed by a lift system starting near the top station. Traces of the 1923 bobsleigh run also survive in the forest.
