Скачать или смотреть Have you ever travelled by this nostalgic Brockenbahn? 🚂

The Harz Mountian Railway or Trans-Harz Railway (Harzquerbahn) is a 140km narrow-gauge rail network, the largest in Germany, served by 25 steam trains at 10 diesel locomotives. While some of the networks date from 1897, other parts are a legacy of the GDR which extended it.

The railway connects the towns of Nordhausen, Wernigerode and Quedlinburg. The first is in the state of Thuringia, while the two others are in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. It consists of three main lines. Harz Railway (Harzquerbahn) connects Nordhausen to Wernigerode and the Selke Valley Railway (Selkebahn) branches off the Harz Railway to Quedlinburg. Finally, the Brocken Railway (Brockenbahn) also branches off the Harz Railway and runs to the summit of Brocken. The latter is the most popular train journey.
