On the shortest route to the highest peak of the Harz - the Brocken. The signposted hiking trail starts at the "Ehrenfriedhof" parking lot on the B4 between Torfhaus and Oderbrück and leads relatively gently uphill past the Ehrenfriedhof. Following the signs, you reach the Dreieckiger Pfahl, the border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. On the Kolonnenweg, it continues quite steeply on a paved surface, which is also suitable for inexperienced hikers. Upon reaching the tracks of the Brocken Railway, the hike continues along the Goetheweg beside the tracks to the Brockenstraße. The entire hiking trail is surrounded by beautiful nature and stunning views over the Harz.
