Germany, 12/03/09.- A double-banked, steam hauled, Brockenbahn train arrives at the 1,142 meters (3,743 ft) high Brocken mountain station, in eastern Germany. The Brockenbahn runs from Drei Annen Hohne where it joins the Harzquerbahn, via Schierke and the Bode River valley to the summit of the Brocken, the highest mountain of the Harz in the Harz National Park. During the Cold War era the Brockenbahn was in use to supply a garrison at the summit and the area was off-limits to non service personnel. The line was reopened for the public in 1991 and the steam trains have become popular for thousands of tourists every year.
