About Braunlage
Braunlage is a health resort of about 5,600 at 560 m in the Goslar district of Lower Saxony, south of the Brocken and on the south-eastern rim of the Harz National Park. The ski slopes are on the Wurmberg and the Sonnenberg, and the town has an ice-hockey team, the Harzer Wölfe. The gondola, opened in 1963, is 2.8 km long and described as the longest in northern Germany. Sankt Andreasberg was added to the municipality in 2011. Our homes are scattered over about eight kilometres, mostly small, with one bedroom typical and none sleeping more than six. Most have a garden, and few have a sauna.
