The Brocken departure is quite steep on this side and consists almost exclusively of the holey concrete slabs. That can sometimes be quite rough. In between, there are always recessed gutters made of concrete. The first one surprised me absolutely at tempo 50 - then I was completely concentrated again.

Very bumpy, but still very fast. You have to be careful. I drive a hardtail with the 26 inch tires. So you do not "bang" over everything just like that. But a great experience that I would repeat at any time.

Hiking down from the Hirtenstieg Brocken you have a fantastic view of the Eckertalsperre.

From the northwest side Brockenaufstieg (Hirtensteig / former Kolonnenweg) you have at the height of the Bismarckklippe and the small Brocken a good view of the Eckertalsperre.
