We always have “nice” weather in Wernigerode :-).
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.

The question is quite exciting and hard 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.

The Brockenbahn starts at the main railway station, right next to the DB “big trains” and the Abellio trains.
Other stations in the urban area of Wernigerode are the
- “Westerntorbahnhof” (Unter den Zindeln / Ilsenburger Straße),
- “Harz University of Applied Sciences” (Kirchstraße),
- “Hasserode” (Am Floßplatz) and
- “Steinerne Renne” (Bielsteinchaussee).

As soon as you take a trip to the Brocken, the journey costs €55.00 for the outward and return journey and €37.00 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 Harzer Schmalspurbahnen website.

Yes, if you are an overnight guest in Wernigerode or one of its districts, you will receive a guest card with your visitor's tax payment.
This guest card entitles you to use almost all public buses in the eastern and western Harz Mountains free of charge.
For example, you can travel free of charge from Wernigerode to Schierke, Quedlinburg, Thale, Blankenburg and Halberstadt.

The castle is open daily from May to October and during the vacations in Saxony-Anhalt & Lower Saxony from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm (last admission is at 5.30 pm).
The other opening hours can be found on the castle's website.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the market square to the castle. If you don't want to or can't do this, you can use either the Bimmelbahn or the Schlossbahn with trips from the city center to the stop at the castle.
A ride in a horse-drawn carriage is possible from the flower clock (behind the town hall).
It is not possible to drive up to the castle in your own car.
