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.

Unfortunately we destroyed almost all the vertical meters we had won on the concrete slab towards the Eckertalsperre ... Unfortunately not recommended for MTB's.

August 28, 2024,Bad Harzburg-Brocken

That was still on my agenda: by e-bike from Bad Harzburg to the Brocken. The weather couldn't have been better than today. So let's go!
