Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz Mountains, stands at 1,141 meters and is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and history buffs. Often shrouded in mist, this mountain is noted for its unique microclimate and is famously associated with Goethe’s “Faust.” The Brocken can be reached via the nostalgic Brocken Railway, a steam-powered train that offers a picturesque journey through lush forested landscapes. At the summit, visitors can explore the Brockenhaus museum, which details local folklore and the ecological system of the region. The area isn't just famous for its natural beauty but also its mythical tales of witches and tales of the Cold War, where a Soviet listening post once stood. Enjoy hiking trails that cater to various skill levels, offering stunning panoramas and a chance to experience the mystical allure firsthand.
