    Hiking

    A ride on the Brockenbahn is a special experience. If you hike up the Brocken, you can hear her panting when she drives up or down the path.

    Hiking

    Nice, worthwhile photo point to take pictures of the famous Brocken Railway. The train passes here regularly on its journey to the summit. It is always a highlight when the historic steam locomotive drives past you. But before you even see the locomotive you can hear it. The loud whistling can be heard for miles.
    A ride on the Brocken Railway is not only a beautiful and fascinating experience for children and a must for every holidaymaker in the Harz Mountains.

    Hiking

    Very good view of the Brockenbahn, but on days with good weather there are a lot of people and you should consider going to another place such as the Bahnparallelweg
