Up from Altenau to Torfhaus - is basically the most demanding ascent in the West Harz: almost 400 m elevation gain and straight up with a little less than 10%. Then look at the Brocken above.

A nice climb with some challenging climbs. It lays about 400 meters in altitude to about 8.5 km. The surface is good and the traffic on this route is relatively weak.
