Tips

Nationalpark Harz

February 13, 2024

Before the steeper climb to the Brocken, you can take a short break at the "Eckersprung" shelter with a Harz hiking badge stamp and seating.

Our shelters in the Harz National Park are usually located in places worth seeing and are therefore popular hiking destinations. They serve as a short-term rest and break option and as protection in the event of bad weather. Overnight stays are only permitted in an emergency. In the interest of everyone, whether human or animal, our shelters must be kept clean.

Brocken plateau was a high-security wing

The inner-German border on the Brocken was strictly guarded. The inner ring on the Brocken plateau was a Soviet restricted area from 1961 because Moscow's westernmost outpost was located here, the listening post with the code name "Jenissej".
