The options vary considerably and offer different starting points for planning your trip.

Land- and water-based activities

Land-based activities in Schulenberg include hiking, cycling, climbing, tennis and golf. The local fitness trail starts at the Tannenhöhe car park, providing a specific point of reference for planning. When planning your trip, you can first decide whether hiking and cycling should define your stay, or whether climbing, tennis and golf should be part of it too.

Winter sports and mountain biking

The Ski-Alpinum in Schulenberg has four runs of varying difficulty, two lifts and a snowboard fun park. Cross-country skiers can also use the wider regional network of trails. The downhill runs and snowboard fun park, on the one hand, and cross-country skiing on the regional network, on the other, offer different focuses for a winter stay.

The Schulenberg Racepark offers lift-assisted mountain biking on the 645-metre-high Wiesenberg. The runs include downhill, freeride, bikercross and dirt slopestyle. The area also offers access points to the Volksbank-Arena Harz route network. When planning a cycling holiday, you can distinguish between cycling in general and the specific Racepark runs; the route network provides another point of reference. Consider whether you want to focus on cycling in general or particularly on lift-assisted mountain biking.

At the reservoir associated with Schulenberg, possible activities include sailing, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, canoe tours and swimming. The water adds another way to shape your stay, alongside land-based and winter activities.
