It is forested and covered with granite rocks. To the north is the Bismarck cliff and a little to the northwest below it is the Hermannsklippe .
hike
A little west past the summit of the Kleiner Brocken , the steep Hirtenstieg leads on an old slab path that was laid out to control the former inner-German border that runs a little further to the west . On the way there is the last resting place near the summit before the main summit of the Brocken , which with its distinctive structures can be clearly seen from there during a break in the ascent. To the east past its summit , the historic Heinrich-Heine hiking trail runs through a quiet zone of the national park, including the Ilsetal and the Bremer Hütte ; The 10.5 km long path was named in honor of the German poet Heinrich Heine , who ran this route in September 1824 on his descent from the Brocken. From the Kleiner Brocken, if visibility is good, you can also see far into the northern Harz foreland.
