Schwarze Schluftwasser

Highlight • River

Beautiful landscape below the Brocken.
At least almost car-free, but of course tons of hikers.

Brockenbahn Steam Railway

Highlight • Structure

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.

May 16, 2024,auf nen Radler und ner Wurst zum Brocken

Today I used my free time to see if the shandy and the sausage on the Brocken still tasted good. Conclusion: Yes, it tastes great, what I don't like is the price. Two shandy and two bratwurst with a roll is €21.70 😡 🤬

The rest of the tour was fun as always with @Stequelme
