    Cross-country skiing

    The branch from Ulmer Weg to Große Bodestrasse is known as the "bad dog". For hikers, this point is an important fork in the road between Braunlage and Brocken.

    Cross-country skiers pass the "bad dog" on the Rote-Bruch trail on the eastern edge of the Roten Bruch near the middle reaches of the Große Bode.

    Cross-country skiing

    The name "Bad Dog" comes from an earlier forest village on this northwest slope of the Wurmberg.

    A large boulder marks this fork, making it a useful landmark for hikers and skiers.
