Antworten auf immer wieder gestellte Fragen

- What is the weather like in Schierke?
    
    We always have "nice" weather in Schierke :-).
    Sometimes you just need a few more things to wear and sometimes a few less.
    The current status can be found on our weather page.
- ... und auf dem Brocken?
    
    The question is quite exciting and almost impossible to answer because it is constantly changing.
    You can get an up-to-date view (or not, if the fog is thick) on our webcam.
- Where does the railway to the Brocken depart from?
    
    The Brockenbahn starts at the main railway station in Wernigerode, right next to the "big trains" of the DB and the Abellio trains.
    
    In addition to other stations in the town area, the Brocken railway runs to the Brocken via the "Drei Annen Hohne" and "Schierke" stations.
- ... und wieviel kostet eine Fahrt?
    
    As soon as you take a trip to the Brocken, the journey costs €57.00 for the outward and return journey and €38.00 for the one-way journey.
    
    It makes no difference whether you board the train in Wernigerode, Nordhausen or Schierke.
    Information on discounts can be found on the Harz narrow-gauge railway website.
- Can I really travel free of charge by bus in the Harz Mountains?
    
    Yes, if you are an overnight guest in Schierke or Wernigerode, you will receive a guest card with your visitor's tax payment.
    
    With this guest card you are entitled to use almost all public buses travelling in the eastern and western Harz Mountains free of charge.
    For example, you can travel free of charge from Schierke to Wernigerode, Braunlage, Elbingerode, Blankenburg and Halberstadt.
