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.

April 20, 2025,Bad Harzburg - Auf zum Brocken

From Bad Harzburg to the Brocken.
The way there had a lot of rough gravel with large stones in places. Since you go slowly up anyway, it wasn't a big problem.
On the way down, you could just roll along nicely 😀.
You just had to watch out for the pedestrians. With the good weather today, it was really busy …
