WHATSAPP LINK BELOW š³ā We take the HBX train that departs from Berlin Gesundbrunnen at 07,02 AM and arrives to Ilsenburg at 10,29 šš The train is available also in Lichtenberg, Wannsee and Potsdam. I attach the screenshot with all the stations. The train is Deutschland Ticket valid. Once in Ilsenburg station, we take a local bus to save a bit of walking (since the actual Hike will be already very long ššÆ). I attach the screenshot of this bus connection, here the website of the local buses (note: these connections are not present on Google Maps) š: https://www.insa.de/ We then start our Hike and this is the path š¶āāļøš¶ The Brocken Mountain is the highest peak in northern Germany ā°ļø with an elevation of 1,142 meters https://www.komoot.com/tour/2936906879 Bring your own food š and drinks š„¤, we will take breaks where we deem appropriate.

On the way back it seems there are no local buses, in the late afternoon, from Parkplatz Ilsenburg Brockenwanderung to the station, so maybe we should walk 2 kms more. A direct train to come back from Ilsenburg to Berlin is available at 17,31 (HBX), but maybe (or even probably) it will be too early for us. Other connections are anyway available, changing train in Magdeburg š If you have to contact me, make it via Whatsapp, not here on Meetup.
