Enjoy the view

Be sure to bring your camera, because the summit offers plenty of opportunities to take beautiful holiday photos.

Adventure for young and old

The Bocksberg is much more than just a viewpoint. On the mountain you will find several attractions that are especially popular with families. One of the biggest crowd pullers is the BocksBergBob, an alpine coaster that takes you down the mountain at high speed. You set the pace yourself, making the attraction suitable for both families and speed enthusiasts. There is also a large adventure playground, trampolines and bouncy castles, a tubing track, mountain cart routes for a spectacular descent and various play and climbing equipment. This means children can have fun for hours, while parents enjoy the view or relax on a terrace.

Hiking and mountain biking

The Bocksberg is an excellent starting point for walks through the western Harz. From the top, several routes run through forests, past viewpoints and towards nearby places such as Clausthal-Zellerfeld and Goslar. Mountain bikers will also get their money's worth here. There are challenging routes with descents, technical passages and beautiful views in the area.

A popular ski area in winter

During winter, the Bocksberg turns into a winter sports area. The slopes are suitable for beginners and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. There are also cross-country ski trails and opportunities for tobogganing. Thanks to the snow cannons, the slopes are often open longer at favorable temperatures than at many other locations in the region.

Combine with a visit to Hahnenklee

After your visit to the Bocksberg, it is worthwhile to explore Hahnenklee. This mountain village is known for its special wooden stave church in Norwegian style, attractive restaurants and the Kranicher Teich, where you can enjoy walking or relaxing by the water.
