Activities

The toboggan lift in the Upper Harz saves its guests the tiresome ascent before every sledge run
The toboggan lift in the Upper Harz saves its guests the tiresome ascent before every sledge run www.torfhauslifte.de

Toboggan fans can use the toboggan lift 'Brockenblick' with floodlight toboggans for our winter sports guests. The toboggan lift is unique in the entire Harz Mountains! Here the tobogganers are pulled up the mountain with the lift system, so that the tiresome mountain run-up is no longer necessary. On towing hangers there are sledges on which the sledders are transported up the slope. The own sledge for the tobogganing fun (downhill run) is pulled afterwards. At the exit point you get off the lift sledge, which is then automatically pulled up and is ready for the next ride. The sledding fun for young and old can now begin.

Altenau also offers three beautiful winter hiking trails. The shortest, with a total length of about four kilometres, leads from the hut pond to the dam house. A little longer is the circular path from the Wellnerweg through the Kellwassertal. Those who can't get enough of nature and exercise can enjoy the 16 kilometre long circular trail around the Oker Valley dam.
