Harzer Schmalspurbahnen
The Harzer Schmalspurbahn comprises some 132 kilometres of gauge railway criss-crossing the Harz mountains in central Germany, linking Wernigerode, the system's headquarters in the north, with Nordhausen in the south, and Quedlinburg in the east. The jewel in the system's crown is the Brockenbahn, which follows a spiral course up the Brocken to the old East German listening post on the top, and is almost exclusively steam hauled.
