The Harz National Park is committed to the protection of these wonders and wants to arouse the enthusiasm for the beauty of nature in the people and preserve. Experience the newly emerging wilderness with all your senses in one of the largest forest national parks in Germany.

Drei Annen Hohne station

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

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.

The bike path is OK, a few bumps in the road but no potholes etc.

The best example of German construction logic: Here is a mandatory bike path, but it ends in nowhere after 1.1km, and you have to ride on the road for the remaining 3.3km...

Former Inner-German Border in the Harz

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you cross the former border. It's shocking when you think about the fact that 35 years ago you couldn't just drive here.

Liebfrauenkirche Wernigerode

Highlight • Religious Site

The former Liebfrauenkirche has been owned by the Wernigerode Cultural Foundation since 2018 and was ceremoniously deconsecrated on February 3, 2019. From 2020 to 2022 it was converted into the Liebfrauen Concert Hall and is now a permanent venue for the Wernigerode Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. The parish continues to own the valuable Sauer organ in the Liebfrauen Concert Hall. This was also extensively renovated and reconstructed to its original condition as part of the renovation of the church.
