| Walked up and back from Bad Harzburg. It was summer at the bottom, winter at the top. Fortunately Bad Harzburg was having it's Salz und Licht Fest, so we filled up on bratwurst and weissbier when we were done. | |

| Think it was one of those 300 days of foggy weather when i went up there. -10°C and heavy winds at the top. Got a few min of clear sky, enough to get some cool pictures. | |

| Go there every year during winter holiday (except for 2006, when i went to Gävle) Last time my dog took a 40 footer near the summit while playing with another dog, fortunately there was 10 foot of snow, so nobody got hurt. Nice wee hill to have some fun in winter. | |

| Have been on the summit of this lovely mountain more times than I care to remember! So it's great to see it appear on Summit Post. My August 2004 walk to the summit was my first "big" effort after a minor cardiac problem in March 2004, (now long since gone it seems). One of the quieter routes, until near the summit when the Goetheweg route is joined. In October I did the full height, ie starting at Illsenburg which gives a height gain of around 900m, on fairly quiet tracks. The large crowds usually come from the other side. On this day the wind was around 120 km/h at the top in heavy rain, (I loved it), but such is the weather that you can experience at the top the Storm Warning lights were not even flashing that day! I did fail to summit it in March this year, starting in Wernigerode, (another 900m height gain route), as I had left my snow shoes at home, and higher up the snow was just too deep in places for normal hiking. | |

| I usually don't sign summit logs, but this ascent during a snow storm is something i will remember. Respect to this old mountain. On the summit was probably the rock were Brünhilde was condamned by Wotan to sleep a long time, under the protection off Loge fire. | |

| I normally walk up Brocken once a year, preferably in winter and always the Goetheweg. Brocken is notorious for its heavy snow falls and last winter 350 centimeters had piled up. Its a beautiful place despite all the crowds and on a clear day the views go far and wide over the plains of Northern Germany. | |
