Brockenbahn Steam Railway

Highlight • Monument

Here on Goetheweg you drive right next to the rails and thus have the opportunity to observe and photograph the great, old HSB locomotives up close.

Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Harz above the tree line. Certainly not the most exciting climb on a mountain bike, but still a must, simply because it's there. ;-)

September 7, 2025,Brocken und Gipfelrunde.

I've been thinking about going to the Harz Mountains for a long time. The bark beetles have eaten almost all the spruce trees bare here. It looks like the end of the world. But you have to see it for yourself; it's pretty impressive. The hiking trails here are still really great, though. The Harz Mountains aren't that far away, …

Unfortunately, 17 km of the return journey is missing in 50 minutes because my battery died after the pictures at the summit. I was lucky that the view was so great …

With the nice weather this afternoon I had to go up to the Brocken to see the invasion weather from above. It looked peculiar: you could see a little over the plain, but behind it suddenly there was a gray wall as if drawn with a ruler.
Upstairs there was a delicious sausage at the Brockenwirt and a nice chat …
