    Tips

    👀
      The Brocken (popularly known as the Blocksberg) is, at 1141.2 m above sea level, the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, in Saxony-Anhalt and in all of northern Germany.
      It is located in the Schierke district of the town of Wernigerode in the Harz district.
      The mountain and its surroundings in the Harz National Park are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany.
      The Brocken is the most dominant mountain in Germany.
      The narrow-gauge Brocken railway has been running to the summit since 1899, apart from interruptions due to destruction in the Second World War and later due to the division of Germany.
      The transmitters on the Brocken, which have been in place since the 1930s, have a large technical range due to their exposed location in the High Harz.
