Schwarze Schluftwasser

Beautiful landscape below the Brocken.
At least almost car-free, but of course tons of hikers.

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.

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.
