Bahnhof Brocken

A role model of all hikers. Keep up the good work and stay healthy. 👍👣

The Brocken is in every weather a popular destination. A magical mountain

On clear days you have an incredible panoramic view

Germany's only narrow-gauge railway, which has its terminus on a summit with alpine climate. For 41 euros she brings lazy and railway romantics up and down again. A track is available for 26 euros.

Seeing the Brockenbahn on the way up is one thing - riding along is a completely different experience.

HSB is always an eye-catcher,
no matter where you see them.

Experiencing and maintaining the steam of past days in function

Just behind is the Brocken Garden. The Brocken Garden is open to visitors between May and mid-October.

There are only a few days a year, where you have a clear view from the Brocken. I had one of these :)

Memorial stone from the Harz Club

It's interesting to watch the trains move in and out.

Memorial stone to a big event.

A ride on the narrow-gauge railway is an experience for big and small.

In winter on a clear day a dream, if not just the many people would be!

The weather station on the Brocken lies at 1141 m altitude and was put into operation in 1839.

The weather station is already very old, which belongs to the Brocken as the Brocken garden behind it. I think that I remember that this garden is also open to the public ...

The HSB (Harz Narrow Gauge Railways) have parked a boiler wagon with extinguishing water on the Brocken for any accidents. The wagon stands on a trolley.
This boiler wagon was only in Drei Annen Hohne and was subsequently painted by the HSB.
It serves solely the extinguishing agent reserve and is driven down in winter again.

Most of the time the year prevails on the Brocken fog / poor visibility, but if you catch a good and clear day, then you can see quite well up to 100 km. Obligatory is the pea soup with buck sausage.

We went up the ice track and hiked down.

It's always an experience, in any weather.

The circular route on the summit lets you experience the gigantic view more intensively in every direction.

One must mention that the Benno stormed the chunks only since the opening in 1989. At 8500 visits in about 29 years, so he is on average 300 days a year up there ...

For an 80th birthday, friends have given him this Bank of Brockengranit. On his 80th birthday he has walked a staggering 6666 times the Brocken. Meanwhile, there are over 8500 !!! times, where he has already climbed the way to the highest mountain in northern Germany. I wish him that he can rest on his bench many more times ...
