Ways to the Brocken - from the Ehrenfriedhof

Short description

A good 7 kilometers long hike from the Ehrenfriedhof via the Kaiserweg, Kolonnenweg and Goetheweg to the Brocken

Description

The shortest way to the highest peak of the Harz Mountains - the Brocken. The marked hiking trail starts at the parking lot Ehrenfriedhof on the B4 between Torfhaus and Oderbrück and leads relatively flatly past the Ehrenfriedhof. Following the signs, you will reach the Dreieckiger Pfahl, the border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The Kolonnenweg then continues quite steeply on paved ground, which is also suitable for inexperienced hikers. Once you reach the tracks of the Brocken Railway, the hike continues on the Goetheweg along the tracks to the Brockenstraße. The entire hiking trail is surrounded by beautiful nature and great views over the Harz Mountains.
