Beautiful landscape below the Brocken.

Although you are not yet at the top, you have a beautiful view of the valley from here. Unfortunately, many trees are broken.

Brockenbahn Steam Railway

Highlight • Structure

A ride on the Brockenbahn is a special experience. If you hike up the Brocken, you can hear her panting when she drives up or down the path.

Brocken Ascent and Descent Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The Brocken climb is approximately 7.7 km long and has an average gradient of 5%.

With enough stamina, it can be mastered with any gear ratio.

The path is wide and well-maintained.

Schierke–Drei Annen Hohne Road in Harz National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From Wernigerode the first longer climb towards Elend (less altitude) / Brocken (more altitude). In a few places there is a great view of the expanse.

A very special highlight in the Harz is the old Brocken Railway, which has been running regularly up the highest mountain in the Harz since 1992. This is a so-called "adhesion railway": despite the steep route profile, the railway climbs the summit solely due to the friction between the drive wheels and the rails and does not require any gears or anything similar. This means that the route has the highest station of all German adhesion narrow-gauge railways.

Enough of the technical highlights. Purely from an experience point of view, a train journey like this is of course extremely exciting. If you still prefer to climb to the Brocken by bike, I fully understand. But maybe the Brocken Railway is an option for the rest of the family? Take a look here, there is all the information about the railway: hsb-wr.de/mehr-erfahren/streckennetz/brockenbahn.
