    Tips

    Steep climb to the Brocken.
    Only for trained hikers with good surefootedness.
    We and our dogs had fun!
    Good waterproof footwear is an advantage!
    Very doable uphill. I wouldn't recommend going downhill because it's slippery.

      It's even more strenuous in snow and ice. You need very good, sure-footed and waterproof shoes.
