Tips from the Community
The Brocken (popularly known as the Blocksberg) is the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, in Saxony-Anhalt and in all of northern Germany at 1141.2 m above sea level. It is located in the Schierke district of the town of Wernigerode in the Harz district. The mountain and its surroundings in the Harz National Park are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany. The Brocken is the most dominant mountain in Germany. From the Brocken summit, when visibility is good, you can see the Großer Inselsberg in Thuringia, the Köterberg in the Weserbergland, the Petersberg north of Halle (Saale) and the Magdeburg Cathedral, 79 km away. When visibility is very good, the Rothaargebirge (164 km away) and the Rhön (152 km) are also visible. In excellent conditions, the Fichtelberg, about 224 km away, and the neighboring Keilberg (227 km) in the Czech Republic can also be seen. The narrow-gauge Brocken Railway has been running to the summit since 1899, apart from interruptions due to destruction in the Second World War and later due to the division of Germany. The transmitters on the Brocken, which have been in place since the 1930s, have a large technical range due to their exposed location in the High Harz. (Source: Wikipedia)

Due to its special location and its 360 degree panorama, the Ösel is worthwhile at any time. The paths up to the summit are not paved and some are quite steep, but are easy to ride on a gravel bike.
