Tobogganing in the Harz Mountains Up by cable car, down on a sledge.
At Bocksberg in Hahnenklee, the cable car – complete with sledge – takes you to the top. To warm up, you have your own sauna in the holiday home.
Tobogganing in the Harz Mountains on the Bocksberg.
According to the operator, there are two runs: the winter toboggan run from the summit down to the valley, approximately 1.5 km long, and the gentle Böckchen toboggan slope at the summit, approximately 200 m long (as of November 2026).
The winter toboggan run is only open when there is sufficient natural snow. The ‘Böckchen’ is covered with artificial snow when it is cold enough.
