About
The Brocken Train Line—officially the Brocken Railway—is a narrow‑gauge steam‑powered tourist line that carries visitors from Wernigerode, through Drei Annen Hohne and Schierke, to the summit of the Brocken, Germany’s highest peak in the Harz Mountains. A historic attraction since 1899, the line operates seasonal steam locomotives that offer panoramic views of the Harz National Park, the surrounding valleys, and a dramatic ascent into the mist‑shrouded summit. The railway is a highlight for rail enthusiasts and families alike, providing an authentic journey back to the early days of German narrow‑gauge railroading.
