Storms have always tumbled over the lonely summit plateau. Clouds of mist often give the Brocken a mystical glow. Optical illusions, such as the Brocken ghost, frightened visitors in earlier times.

The most comfortable way is to take the Brocken steam train. There are several ascent routes for hiking and mountain biking.
