    At 1125 meters above sea level, it is the highest railway station in Germany that can be reached with adhesion trains (i.e. without gear wheels, cable pulls or other aids).

    The steepest section of the route is between Drei Annen Hohne and the Brocken. The train takes about 50 minutes for this.

    The train station can be seen as an integrated highlight of the Brocken. But I think it deserves proper attention. It is particularly nice when a steam horse arrives.
