The "Brocken" is the highest mountain in the Harz (3743 ft). Follow in Goethe's footsteps who walked all the way up in 1777, or let the power of steam help you to get to the summit. |

Wernigerode Castle with its lovely parks is well worth a visit. Since 1930 the castle is open to the public. There is a lot to explore inside the building with nearly 50 rooms to discover as well as outside this ancient monument where concerts and seasonal events take place throughout the year. |
