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. ;-)

Komoot actually sent me down a path that nobody can travel. I had to carry my bike (32 kg) about 1.5 km. So be careful with Komoot and Brocken. I was convinced that he would send me to Brockenstrasse. However, that was not the case at first. Everything went smoothly down the hill, without komoot.

With such beautiful weather, we decided at short notice to go up the Brocken, the highest mountain in the Harz, again today. It was just great.
You can also see a few green fir trees🌲🌲🌲 again and not just dry and broken trees.

When we reached it we realized that the Goetheweg to the Brocken is a beautiful hiking trail, but not suitable for bicycles. The path is very steep and rocky, which makes riding a bike very difficult and dangerous. The path is …

Today, on June 14th, 2024, at 11am, there was the Harzquerbahner pensioners' meeting in the Waldbadschenke in Elend. After that, I cycled another 31km to the Brocken. It was pretty cold up there but otherwise beautiful. I left GS at 10am with my bike attached to the car and then after the meeting, I did the Brocken tour from Elend. …

The bike path (planned by Komoot for e-bikes) was not for our bikes. It should also go over big stones where you absolutely could not push the e-bike, let alone ride it! Then we still managed to get to the Brockenstrasse. Otherwise a nice tour that we had planned for a long time. Of course, we went back via the …
