The Brocken (popularly called Blocksberg) is 1141.2 m above sea level. NHN the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, in Saxony-Anhalt and in all of Northern Germany.

It is located in the district of Schierke in the town of Wernigerode in the district of Harz.

The mountain and its surroundings in the Harz National Park are one of the most popular destinations in Germany.

The Brocken is the most dominant mountain in Germany.

From the summit of the Brocken, with good visibility, you can see the Großer Inselsberg in Thuringia, the Köterberg in the Weserbergland, the Petersberg north of Halle (Saale) and Magdeburg Cathedral, 79 km away.

With very good visibility, the Rothaargebirge (164 km away) and the Rhön (152 km) are also visible.

In excellent conditions, the Fichtelberg, about 224 km away, and the neighboring Keilberg (227 km) in the Czech Republic can also be seen.

The narrow-gauge Brockenbahn has been running to the summit since 1899, with interruptions as a result of destruction during World War II and later due to the division of Germany.

The transmission systems on the Brocken, which have been in place since the 1930s, have a large technical range due to the exposed location in the High Harz Mountains.
