A fantastic path along the Ilse River. However, you'll want to have your muscles at operating temperature before attempting the climb!

From Ilsenburg to the Brocken with the EMTB in Eco Mode. It's also a good effort and I don't have more levels right now 😅

I'm stuck. It's been raining all day, so we can't think of going any further. At 4 p.m. the "extra tour" on the Brocken was possible. Definitely not a good idea for my muscles, but great as a motivation for what is to come

Today's destination Brocken (Harz). Ilsetal (amazing) up and back over the Tonmühlenkopf.

The ascent to the Brocken is really demanding, even with an e-bike. Respect to everyone who can do it without an engine! The view from the top is great, always worth it 😀. The Ilsetal also offers beautiful sights and views, recommended 👍

August 24, 2024,☀️ Durch das Ilsetal zum Brocken 🥰

We drove around it sooo often -
it's in sight sooo often - but today we went DIRECTLY to the Brocken for the first time in a long time!!!
Coming from Ilsenburg, it's a beautiful tour - of course - it goes uphill (890m) - but the Ilsetal and the view are definitely worth it!! 🥰

A special kind of challenge on our way to Magdeburg: the Brocken. With luggage on the bike. Only with a biological drive for ascension.
Just under an hour for the 9.9 km from Schierke to the summit... horizontal rain fell on the way, the temperature dropped to 6 degrees, the wind swept over the area. Warmed up a bit at …

The weather on the Brocken was really uncomfortable. Just in the minutes when we were taking photos on the Brockenstein, there was a heavy shower, plus wind with 65km/h gusts at 1-2°C. Before that it rained when we went up the Brockenstrasse. When we sat in the cloud house, there was only fog. There was tea, muffins and a beer …
