Easy walk in the winter with mtb. The road is a wide road that was cleared before seven in the morning.

The Brockenstraße stretches pretty well. Ok in winter, rather boring in summer.
Much more beautiful and varied is the ascent from Torfhaus on the Goetheweg.

The Brockenstraße or Brockenchaussee called, is closed to public vehicle traffic. Cyclists and hikers can use the road.

A visit to the Brocken is always worthwhile.
The best start, because the route is still empty.

... and Father Brocken looks at me as if he can understand me. It is nice to see it down from the mountain to the valley .....

The way / road to the Brocken, not as steep as expected. It was easy to drive. We were up in no time at all.
However, you shouldn't look to the left or right, what the bark beetle and the lack of moisture is causing is really creepy.

I only know her in the summer. So I added some pictures from this time of year...

Sonja's description suggests that she was probably on the road with support. It's also possible without it, of course, but certainly not in the blink of an eye. Pulls, as John has already written.
Otherwise I would take it like John.
And down (except for the top piece, where there is no alternative in this direction) it almost borders on sacrilege to take the Brockenstraße. There are so many more species-appropriate alternatives!

Always whether with a bike or without...with children, grandma, grandpa...excursion destination for the whole family...

The entire asphalt highway is closed to vehicle traffic (only personnel/supply traffic is permitted to the summit).

Nevertheless, you should watch out for hikers when driving down, as children like to run across just before they reach the summit (it happened to me).
