The Brocken, also known colloquially as Blocksberg, is the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, in Saxony-Anhalt, and in all of Northern Germany, reaching an elevation of 1,141.2 meters above sea level. The mountain and its surroundings within the Harz National Park are among Germany's most popular tourist destinations. The Brocken is often shrouded in mist, but on clear days the view is phenomenal.
