Great starting point for hikes, for example to Königshütte. But you can also just walk around the lake. Anglers even have the opportunity to try their luck at pike, pikeperch and Co. with the appropriate fishing license. 🎣

Brocken Railway

Highlight • Structure

The tour is from previous days. We often put the landscape and sights in second or third place because the conversation is more fascinating than anything else. Like here.
The preachy ending is on me...
