View of the Hornberg Lime Works

Highlight • Viewpoint

if you stop exactly at the marked spot, you won't see the lime works. But a little further south you can see it well.

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.
