Brockenbahn Steam Railway

Highlight • Monument

Here on Goetheweg you drive right next to the rails and thus have the opportunity to observe and photograph the great, old HSB locomotives up close.

Brocken must be! Is simply the "highlight" of the Harz Mountains!

Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Harz above the tree line. Certainly not the most exciting climb on a mountain bike, but still a must, simply because it's there. ;-)

View of the Eckertalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Eckertalsperre is great and when then the downhill down to the Rangerhütte Scharfenstein with up to 20 percent gradient follows - perfect! But beware: hikers and dangerous cross grooves are to be considered!

Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.
