Day 4 – Wernigerode – Berlin, and a look at the Reichstag

Wernigerode – Magdeburg – Rosslau – Berlin

Day 3 – Harzer Schmalspurbahnen

Wernigerode – Brocken – Wernigerode
OK that’s a real mouthful. HSB is better known to English speakers as the Harz railway, a network of narrow gauge railways, of which the line to the summit of the Brocken is the most dramatic.

Day 2 – Wuppertal and the legendary suspended railway

Antwerp – Breda – Eindhoven – Venlo – Breyell – Wuppertal – Hannover – Goslar – Wernigerode.
Seven trains, a rail replacement bus, and three trips on the Schwebebahn. This was an epic day with a bucket list item well and truly ticked off.

Day 1 – getting off the island

Stone > Euston > St Pancras > Brussels > Antwerp
Where several trains run on time but battery life becomes an early theme

Have we got a plan? Well, not much of one!

I’m not big on being tied down to an itinerary. Surely the key thing about wanderlust has to be wandering and seeing what you find?
