Brocken

The Brocken, or Blocksberg, is the highest peak (1142 meters) in the Harz Mountains in Germany, between the rivers Weser and Elbe. Despite its relatively low altitude, it tends to have snow cover from September to May, and it is shrouded in mists and fogs up to 300 days of the year. Its climate is similar to mountains closer to 2000m high.

Today the Brocken is part of a national park, and is home to a historic botanical garden of mountain plants, founded in 1890. A narrow gauge steam train can take visitors from Wernigerode to the railway station at the top, but there are also numerous hiking trails.
