Winterwonderland  Friedrichsbrunn

Friedrichsbrunn counts with a height situation between 400 and 600 m. above sea level to the classical winter sports places of the east Harz.

What appears in summer as an idyllic footpath, changes during the winter months into a refuge for cross-country skiing. Numerous cross-country trails surround the place in different difficulty steps. A big sledge slope in the middle of the place makes be beating child hearts, and also adults have here their fun. Smaller departures demand the skilled winter sportsman. Who would like to concern it rather quietly, undertakes winter wanderings by the surrounding woods. Also a visit of the "Brocken" is recommendable, the elevation is with 1142-m the heighest of the Harzmountains and offers a wide look about the Harz in clear weather. Who avoids the rise, scales the Brocken with the old steamtrain. After so much fun in wintry cold you should undertake a short excursion to the thermal sole bath in Bad Suderode distant few minutes. In heated inside basins and outside basins you relax and scoop new strength for the next excursions.

The history of the winter sports can be looked best of all in the ski museum and home museum. Here you find out a lot of interesting about the origin and development of many winter sports devices, the work of the mountain rescue service and also something to the history of the town itselves.

In the course of the years many competitions have set up. A highlight is, for example, the sledge dog's runnings which draw yearly thousands of spectators.

The bath pond which provides in summer for cooling becomes during the winter months a skating road for skaters
