The HSB (Harzer Schmalspurbahnen) have parked a (red) tank car with extinguishing water on the Brocken for possible accidents. The wagon stands on a trolley, in winter it goes into the valley.
This tank car was only in Drei Annen Hohne and was subsequently marked by the HSB.
It is used solely for the extinguishing agent reserve and is shut down again in winter.

National Park Visitor Center Brockenhaus – Harz National Park

Highlight • Rest Area

A journey through the magic and diversity of the mountain: A visit to Northern Germany's highest mountain is not complete without a stop at the architecturally striking Brockenhaus National Park Visitor Center. A multimedia adventure through the eventful history and unique natural beauty of this fascinating mountain awaits Brocken visitors on three floors.

With an area of almost 250 square kilometers, the national park stretches around the Brocken – from Herzberg in the south to Bad Harzburg and Ilsenburg (Harz) in the north. A large part of the area is covered by spruce and beech forests; moors are also typical.

Further information about the national park and the Brockenhaus can be found here: nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/nationalpark-harz

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. ;-)
