Highest elevation of the Harz Mountains (Central Germany)
About Brocken
The sensitive, ecologically valuable Brocken massive is protected and part of the Harz National Park. Staying on the marked roads and paths is mandatory - you may not walk around in the woods wherever you like. The mountain is visited by around 1.4 million tourists every year, and the trip up and the views are often the high point on a trip to the Harz. Popular ways of getting to the summit are on foot or by the historical Brockenbahn steam train fromWernigerodeorNordhausento Drei Annen Hohne and on to the Brocken. However, be aware that the mountain is shrouded in clouds for about 300 days a year and at those times the amazing views are covered up. To enjoy them you need some luck or be prepared to adjust your travel plans quickly according to weather conditions. Benno Schmidt (born in 19
