Schwarze Schluftwasser

Highlight • River

Beautiful landscape below the Brocken.
At least almost car-free, but of course tons of hikers.

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. ;-)

November 1, 2024,Brockentour....kurz, knackig im Anstieg, kalt...und wunderschön 😁

Actually, today we were supposed to go somewhere completely different.
But...slept too long early and couldn't get going...😴🙈
So, when hunting for passes, we quickly looked to see what mountains were still reachable in such a short time and were still missing from the list.
There was not much to think about...heading towards Brocken.
I've "conquered" it a few times …

The first Brocken tour was planned for today.
The weather forecast got worse and worse as the week progressed.
Around 7 am I got the message from Wernigerode that it was raining cats and dogs and that the driveway might be closed
Lt. Forecast rain from the weatherman from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Shortly before the driveway to the …

May 22, 2023,Tour Teil 1 Aufstieg von Wernigerode zum Brocken mit Univega Vision

The hottest day of the year so far, just right for a tour on the Brocken. Started from the bike shop I trust at 215 m above sea level, after about 2.5 km it really got down to business and at 500 m and to Schierke it was then leisurely another 100 m. On the remaining 10 km, 550 m …

June 30, 2022,Wernigerode - Brocken (Aufstieg)

Altogether quite feasible, on a morning around 10 a.m. during the week with little car and motorcycle traffic between Wernigerode and Schierke. Semi-hard ascent to the Brocken, there are a few thick ramps, but overall it is easy to drive on, asphalt in good condition (as of 07/2022).

The weather was not so great on Saturday ...

May 6, 2025,Drei Annen Hohne-Brocken-Schierke

We began our tour in Drei Annen Hohne in cool temperatures and sunshine. We traveled the first few kilometers along the Glashüttenweg. For the last stretch, we took the Brockenstrasse. We then took this road back to Schierke. After a quick stop at Mr. Drube's pharmacy, we returned to Drei Annen Hohne.

October 12, 2024,Der Brocken

I finally tackled the Brocken ride. A tough challenge for an occasional cyclist from the flatlands.
The weather itself was OK, only at the summit there was a biting wind at just 6°C.
There were 2 other "problems". Firstly, if you plan a circular route and add even just one waypoint yourself, you can no longer be guaranteed that the …
