Großer Winterberg

The Großer Winterberg is a mountain, 906.4 m above sea level , and a subpeak of the Wurmberg, the highest mountain in the neighbouring state of Lower Saxony in the High Harz of central Germany. The Großer Winterberg rises within the borough of Wernigerode in the county of Harz in the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

The Großer Winterberg lies within the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park and the Harz National Park immediately northeast of the state border with Lower Saxony and about 2.5 km west-southwest of the village of Schierke in the borough of Wernigerode. To the north-northwest the countryside descends into the valley of the Cold Bode, on the other side of which rises the legendary Brocken , in front of which are the Königsberg to the west and the Heinrichshöhe to the east. From northeast to east-northeast, above Schierke on the other side of Cold Bode rises the ridge of Hohnekamm . To the southeast is the Kleiner Winterberg . To the southwest the countryside climbs gradually over the state border up to the Wurmberg.
