Arrive in Wernigerode — the colourful half-timbered town where the Brocken railway begins — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Wernigerode lies on the Holtemme at the northern edge of the Harz, about 12 km from the Brocken, and has long used Hermann Löns's phrase “the colourful town on the Harz” as its epithet. The half-timbered Rathaus on the market square was first recorded in 1277, and the neo-Gothic Schloss Wernigerode above the town was rebuilt between 1862 and 1885 as a residence for the counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode. The town is the headquarters of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, whose steam-hauled Brockenbahn climbs to the 1,141 m summit, and large parts of the surrounding forest belong to the Harz National Park. The Hochschule Harz has its main campus here, teaching automation, computer science and business studies including tourism management, while public administration is taught in Halberstadt.
The Frankfurt Airport to Wernigerode transfer follows the A5, A49, A7, A36 corridor with consistent journey times of around 3h 40min. Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Wernigerode — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.

Unlike most German universities, the Hochschule Harz starts its winter semester lectures in mid-September and its summer semester in March, so student arrivals come earlier here than elsewhere. The Brocken railway runs all year, and the town is liveliest in summer and during the Christmas market, when visitors fill the half-timbered lanes. Covering about 341 km in around 3h 40min, the drive from Frankfurt Airport heads north on the A5, A49 and A7, then runs via Goslar and Bad Harzburg onto the A36.
