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
