The Beauty of a Harz Mountains Train Tour

The Harz Mountains is the highest mountain range in northern Germany and is arguably the most beautiful. Our tour gives you the opportunity to take a trip on the narrow-gauge Brocken Railway, which takes you on a scenic journey up into the mountains through spruce woodland and narrow valleys towards the summit of Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains. The steam railway was first opened over one hundred years ago, however, it was closed to the public during the Cold War and used solely for military purposes. It has since re-opened and is again available for members of the public to experience its splendour.
