Quite busy near the top with cars and people, but a fantastic view from up there. A climb that should be durable for most people and with nice surroundings too.

Nice climb. First part from Elend is quite tough. To Schierke even a bit of a descent, then mostly not steep, but last km to the Brocken is a bit of a struggle. On a beautiful Friday in July, it was not busy. From piece after Schierke closed for cars. Last km quite some hikers, but no problem.

Mooie klim. Eerste stuk vanuit Elend is best pittig. Naar Schierke zelfs beetje dalen, dan lange tijd meestal niet steil, maar laatste km naar de Brocken is weer even doorbijten. Op een mooie vrijdag in juli was het niet druk. Vanaf stukje na Schierke afgesloten voor auto's. Laatste km aardig wat wandelaars, maar geen probleem.
