Torfhaus
At an altitude of 820 metres Torfhaus is the highest located site in Lower Saxony; it is a district of Altenau in the Upper-Harz region. It has a good visibility of the Brocken and the Harzer foothills.
In Torfhaus not only can you expect the ski lift 'Great Torfhaus lift' at the Rinderkopf and the toboggan lift 'Brocken view' but also gastronomy, ski-, snowboard- and toboggan hire as well as a skiing school, a youth hostel and a school holiday home from the region of Hannover. This means all your needs are provided for. A visit to the National park visitors center is merited.
It's also worth your while to visit Altenau. Here you will find the private brewery, a herbal park with a pagoda and much more; or relax in the Cristal thermal baths 'Heißer Brocken'. You will also find many over-night stays in Altenau and the surroundings.
In the winter there are many prepared cross-country ski tracks and winter footpaths, even in the Brocken area and in the over 900m high Bruchberg.
Torfhaus is very easy to find and worth a visit everytime.
We are looking forward to your visit and wish you a lot of happy hours on our lifts and in the district of Torfhaus.
