The Torfhaus National Park Visitor Center is a popular starting point for numerous hiking and adventure tours, such as the popular Goetheweg to the Brocken, the Moorstieg over the Große Torfhausmoor or the adventure tour "On the road with Boris bark beetle".

Either you start your ascent here in Torfhaus on the Brocken via the Goetheweg, or you arrive here exhausted but satisfied after a hike to the summit. Before going up, the sight is motivation and after the summit tour it is a look back at a beautiful hike. No matter from which angle you look, the view of the striking Brocken summit is simply beautiful.

Just beautiful! If you wake up there in the morning with a view towards the Brocken, then you simply have to lace up your hiking boots to explore this beautiful area.

Bick from the peat house to the Brocken. Walking time to the summit about 3-4 hours.

The view from Torfhaus to the Brocken is one of the most famous lines of sight in the Harz. But even in thick fog without any view, it is a special place.

Torfhaus is the highest settlement in the Harz Mountains.
From there you have a beautiful view of the Brocken and, in winter, several opportunities for tobogganing and skiing

Great view of the Brocken. There is a playground, a large parking lot, day ticket € 10 stood in 20127 and a toboggan lift. Ideal for the family
