Stock Photo - 09 March 2022, Saxony-Anhalt, Schierke: Hikers are on the so-called Eckerlochstieg, which leads to the Brocken in the Harz Mountains. Numerous dead conifers can be seen on the mountain slopes. The drought of recent years and the bark beetle have caused a large proportion of the spruce trees in the Harz to die. In addition, the severe storms of the ""Ylenia"", ""Zeynep"" and ""Antonia"" storms have left considerable damage to the forests in the Harz. Photo: Bodo Marks/dpa. - Schierke/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany
