Hasselkopf is a hill on the southern periphery of Braunlage, Germany. It is 612 m high.
The hill is mostly covered in grass and undeveloped, but its northern slope has a short ski lift and can be used for downhill skiing in the winter months.
On 1964-05-07 the hill was used by Gerhard Zucker to demonstrate the use of mail rockets. One exploded in an accident, killing three.
