    Hiking

    The Brocken Garden is currently in hibernation. The new Brocken Garden season begins in mid-May.

    The botanical garden on the Brocken summit is home to approximately 1,500 high-altitude plant species from all over the world.
    Arrival and Accessibility
    The Brocken is not accessible by car, as the Brocken Road is closed to public transport. Access is possible, for example, via various hiking trails, by bicycle, or the barrier-free Brocken Railway. A wheelchair-accessible restroom is available in the Brockenhaus.

    The Brocken Garden was founded in 1890 on the plateau of the 1142 m high summit. In addition to tasks in teaching and research, it is a public display facility for high mountain plants, which now contains around 1600 species.☘️🌾🌿🍃🌳🌱🪴⚘️🌼
