Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Harz above the tree line. Certainly not the most exciting climb on a mountain bike, but still a must, simply because it's there. ;-)

The view of the Eckertalsperre is great and when then the downhill down to the Rangerhütte Scharfenstein with up to 20 percent gradient follows - perfect! But beware: hikers and dangerous cross grooves are to be considered!

Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.

April 13, 2024,[K3] [T2] Gravel Fest 2022 - 60km Route

Gravel route that's great for climbing. Lots of nice sections and great views.

Only the descent from the Brocken isn't really worth the effort, as the ride over the Panzerplatte requires a lot of braking.
