For experienced and well-equipped hikers, the scenic ascent from Schierke through the Eckerloch to the Brocken is recommended. The rustic hiking trail begins a few meters behind the National Park House at the waterworks. With good footwear, this route over roots, rocky granite, and boardwalks is a true pleasure. Here you can especially well experience the forest in transition. The path follows the rapids of the Schwarzes Schluftwasser down to the Eckerloch wetland. The Eckerlochstieg leads into the Brockenstraße, which then takes the hiker to the summit.
