    Landmark 4 Brocken ® On the 17th of November, 2015, during the 38th UNESCO General Assembly, the 195 member states of the United Nations resolved to introduce a new title. As a result, Geoparks can be distinguished as UNESCO Global Geoparks. As early as 2004, 25 European and Chinese Geoparks had founded the Global Geoparks Network (GGN). In autumn of that year Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen became part of the network. In addition, there are various regional networks, among them the European Geoparks Network (EGN). These coordinate international cooperation. 22 Königslutter 28 ® 1 cm = 26 km 20 Oschersleben 27 18 14 Goslar Halberstadt 3 2 1 8 Quedlinburg 4 OsterodeOsterodee a.H.a.Ha H.. 9 11 5 13 15 161 6 10 17 19 7 Sangerhausen Nordhausen 12 21 In the above overview map you can see the locations of all UNESCO Global Geoparks in Europe, including UNESCO Global Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen and the borders of its parts. UNESCO-Geoparks are clearly defi ned, unique areas, in which geosites and landscapes of international geological importance are found. The purpose of every UNESCO-Geopark is to protect the geological heritage and to promote environmental education and sustainable regional development. Actions which can infl ict considerable damage on geosites are forbidden by law. A Highlight of a Harz Visit 1 The Brocken A walk up the Brocken can begin at many of the Landmark’s Geopoints, or one can take the Brockenbahn from Wernigerode or Drei Annen-Hohne via Schierke up to the highest mountain of the Geopark (1,141 meters a.s.l.).

Dort lagen die Monatswerte teilweise über 6°C (Frankfurt a. M. 6,1°C, Freiburg i. Br. 6,2°C, Aachen, Karlsruhe und Mannheim 6,3°C, Köln 6,5°C, Düsseldorf 6,7°C, Norderney 7,0°C, Helgoland 7,2°C). Sonst bewegten sich die Monatsmittel in den Niederungen meist um 5°C. Im Osten und Süden Deutschlands lagen die Monatsmittelwerte in den Niederungen teilweise noch etwas tiefer. Örtlich lagen sie unter 3°C (Hof/ Nordbayern 2,6°C, Zwiesel/ Bayrischer Wald 2,0°C, Sonneberg/ Thüringen 1,6°C). Erst oberhalb 1500 m blieben die Mitteltemperaturen mehrheitlich unter 0°C. Nur auf den höchsten deutschen Alpengipfeln lagen sie unter -5°C (Zugspitze -8,5°C). In ganz Deutschland war es viel zu mild für die Jahreszeit. Für zahlreiche Stationen war es der wärmste Januar seit Beginn der Meßreihen. Besonders große Abweichungen von den Normalwerten ergaben sich in Ostdeutschland und in den Niederungen Südbayerns. D ort lagen die Differenzen zu den Bezugswerten teilweise über 6°C (Berlin-Schönefeld, Ingoldstadt und Regensburg 6,1°C, Cottbus 6,3°C, Passau 6,4°C, München-Flughafen und Straubing 6,5°C). Im Westen und Südwesten waren die Abweichungen etwas geringer. Dort lagen die Differenzen meist unter 5°C.

Anforderungen: Der Aufstieg ist steil Variante: Vom Dreieckigen Pfahl kann und erfolgt zum Teil über grobblockige man auch direkt zurück nach Schierke Fels- und Wurzelwege. Auch der Abstieg gehen, ca. 60 Min. kürzer. Blick vom Wurmberg zum Brocken. Vom Wintersportplatz Schierke erfolgt der Aufstieg zum Brocken auf dem Eckerlochstieg wie in Tour 15. Vom Brocken geht es auf der für den öffentli- chen Verkehr gesperrten Brockenstraße zurück, bis an der Abzweigung des Neuen Goethewegs die Trasse der Brockenbahn kreuzt. Aussichtsreich führt der Goetheweg im Gleichlauf mit dem Harzer Grenzweg parallel zur Trasse der Brockenbahn abwärts Richtung Torfhaus, zuletzt auf einem Be- tonplattenweg aus der Zeit des Warschauer Pakts. Beim Eckersprung ver- lässt der Grenz- den Goetheweg und führt am Bodesprung, der Quelle der Kalten Bode, vorbei zur Verzweigung beim Rastplatz Dreieckiger Pfahl. Wer abkürzen will, kann hier direkt nach Schierke zurückwandern, während der Grenzweg der ehemaligen innerdeutschen Demarkationslinie in einem teils verheideten, teils vermoorten Gebiet weiterfolgt. Nach sachtem Abstieg beginnt der Weg an einer Brockenblick-Verzwei- gung wieder anzusteigen, bis der kurze, steile Aufstieg zum Wurmberg ausgeschildert ist. Vom Gipfel mit der Sprungschanze geht es auf demsel- ben Weg zurück zum Grenzweg, der wenig später die Raststelle im Sattel zwischen Wurm- und Winterberg Brocken erreicht.

The area is situated close to the suture between Laurussia and Gondwana represented by the Mid-German Crystalline Zone. The Harz Mountains became intruded by a number of granitoids that are believed to be related to the Variscan orogeny culminating in Devono-Carboniferous time. The two major granitoids in the Harz Mountains are rep- resented by the Brocken and the Ramberg plutons. We dated zircons of two samples from the marginal facies of the Brocken and the Ramberg granites in the Harz Mountains using U/Pb single zircon dating by a Laser- ICP-MS. The measurements of the youngest population of needle-shaped magmatic zircons show a concordia age of 283 ± 2.1 Ma for the Brocken granite and a concordia age of 283 ± 2.8 Ma for the Ramberg granite. Both overlapping results are interpreted to reflect the age of intrusion of these two granitoids.

  • HARZ MOUNTAINS 229 Quedlinburg Thale Gernrode © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Wernigerode Harz National Park Brocken Goslar (Harz Journey; 1824)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 229 Harz Mountains The Harz Mountains rise picturesquely from the North German Plain, covering an area 100km long and 30km wide at the junction of Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Lower Saxony. Although the scenery here is a far cry from the dramatic peaks and valleys of the Alps, the Harz region is a great year-round sports getaway, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling and skiing (downhill and nordic) in and around the pretty Harz National Park. The regular influx of visitors in all seasons is testament to the enduring appeal of the Harz; historically, too, its status as a prime national holiday destination has never been questioned. From 1952 until reunification, the region was divided between West and East Germany, effectively becoming an uneasy political holiday camp straddling the Iron Curtain. The Brocken (1142m) is the focal point, and has had more than its fair share of illustri- ous visitors: the great Goethe was frequently seen striding the local trails and set ‘Walpur- gisnacht’, an early chapter of Faust, on the mountain, while satirical poet Heinrich Heine spent a well-oiled night here, as described in Harzreise (Harz Journey; 1824). Elsewhere the charming medieval towns of Wernigerode and Quedlinburg pull the crowds, while equally venerable steam trains pull them along between the mountain villages, spas and sports resorts that litter the region. Get out your knee socks or your ski mask and treat yourself to a taste of the active life. HIGHLIGHTS Pagan Rituals Trek to the Brocken or
