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. ;-)

Schwarze Schluftwasser

Highlight • River

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