May 21, 2024,Braunlage: Start vom Hotel aus - Brocken - Wurmbergstieg - Wurmberg - 🚡 nach Braunlage

Had fantastic weather for the tour. And the view from the Brocken was also gigantic. It's beautiful with blue skies and sunshine.☀️
However, my legs didn't want to go down the Wurmberg anymore... so I took the gondola 🚡 to Braunlage.

That was enough
