Geographical location
The Kleine Winterberg rises in the Harz / Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park immediately east of the border with Lower Saxony. Its summit is about 2.2 km southwest of the village of Schierke, which belongs to the city of Wernigerode . To the northeast, beyond the Schierke on the Kalten Bode , rises the Hohnekamm ( 900.6 m ; with Hohneklippen ). To the southeast, the landscape leads over to the Barenberg ( 695.5 m ), to the south it falls into the valley of the Bremke , which rises in the transition area to the Wurmberg ( 971.2 m ) to the west and beyond the border . The Great Winterberg ( 906.4 m ) connects to the northwest and the Brocken ( 1141.1 m ) beyond it .
Winter sports area
As part of the Wurmberg 2015 concept, which is currently being planned, a lift system or gondola lift with four new, artificial snow-making runs is to be built in the area between Großes and Kleiner Winterberg and Wurmberg in the direction of the village of Schierke. As early as 2000, part of the Kleiner Winterberg was spun off from the Harz National Park to make it possible to plan a winter sports area. In the criticism of the Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU), the project called "Natur.Schierke" is because artificial snow and other interventions are planned. Due to the clearing of around 40 hectares of mountain forest and the destruction or impairment of various legally protected biotopes and rare bird species that occur in the area, extensive compensation measures would be necessary.
