Braunlage is a skiing resort in the Harz Mountains, an area of Germany which is full of folklore and creepy tales. Braunlage keeps up this atmosphere with one of its ski runs being called the Witches’ Way and carnivals and bonfires on Walpurgisnacht – 30 April – the night when the witches are said to ride. If you are in your Braunlage holiday rental at that time, watch out for fun and games similar to Halloween.

Although Braunlage is primarily a ski resort, it has other things to do in the town, both in winter and summer so it won’t matter when your apartment rental is booked for. Braunlage is known for its mountain biking and walking – inevitably, along the Witches’ Walk – as well as downhill skiing. Something to watch out for (or perhaps look away from, depending on your taste) whilst staying in your Braunlage serviced flat or self-catered apartment is the recently inaugurated nude sledging competition, which proved very popular in its first year. If that sounds a little risky, then you can enjoy several different levels of ski run, all easily accessed from the longest gondola lift in northern Germany.

As well as winter sports and hiking, Braunlage is a famous health resort and you can enjoy many different treatments while staying here. A Braunlage holiday apartment is an ideal way to get the most out of a massage or similar treat, as you won’t have far to go to get home and you will not have been stressed out by the journey. There are heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools to choose from for a change from skiing, all easily accessible from your Braunlage aparthotel.

Having got nice and fit with all that skiing and swimming, it seems a shame to fill up on lovely cakes and hot chocolate, but as these are a speciality of the region it would be positively wrong not to! Stroll out from your Braunlage short stay apartment just a little way and you are certain to come across a lovely coffee shop selling homemade cakes, so indulge yourself. You are on holiday after all! The town centre has a good choice of shops of all kinds as well as bars and restaurants, so this is one skiing holiday which need not be all about sport. Your holiday in a Braunlage serviced apartment will leave you very relaxed and raring to go when you get home.
