Oberharz am Brocken

Few municipalities in Saxony-Anhalt have a history as closely tied to mining in the Harz as Oberharz am Brocken. Spread across the upper Harz, it brings together settlements including Elbingerode, Hasselfelde, Benneckenstein and Rübeland, where the Bode cuts through the mountains. Iron ore and limestone extraction shaped local work and transport for generations. Rübeland is known for the Baumannshöhle and Hermannshöhle, limestone caves among the Harz’s established visitor sites. Around Hasselfelde, the Harz narrow-gauge railway maintains a living connection with the region’s railway heritage.
