Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

View of Wernigerode Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Day 2, after yesterday a short lap on the Brocken

The last time I did something like this was a while ago and because I had to fight fog on the way there by car, I left later and experienced the sunrise 4 km from the summit... I put that right once and for all today....

A lot of cars in the direction of Schierke today on the 4th of Advent. Closed snow cover with coarse split on the Brockenstrasse. On top of the Brocken -6°C. Cold fingers when driving down.
