The Brocken circular route is an easy-to-walk path that ends either at Brocken station or at the highest point.
Well-illustrated information boards provide details about the history and special features of the Brocken, as well as its unique flora and fauna. Those who want to learn more can visit the National Park visitor center Brockenhaus and then refresh themselves in a small café.

The climate on the Brocken can be compared to that of Iceland or the Alps at an altitude of 2,000 to 2,200 meters. The Brocken summit is the windiest place in Germany and Central Europe. On average, the wind blows at six Beaufort or 42 km/h throughout the year. Storm gusts are recorded on over 100 days per year, and the highest wind speed was measured on November 24, 1984, at 263 km/h.
