Extensive wilderness forests, bizarre rocks, millennia-old bogs, pristine streams and majestic chunks. In this legendary mountain wilderness not only lynx and wildcat feel at home, but numerous large and small natural wonders are waiting along the way for attentive explorers.
The Harz National Park is committed to the protection of these wonders and wants to arouse the enthusiasm for the beauty of nature in the people and preserve. Experience the newly emerging wilderness with all your senses in one of the largest forest national parks in Germany.

Here you have many options for great racing bike routes with vertical meters! The described forest dieback in 2020/21 was probably the work of voracious bark beetles. But it looks amazing how bare many slopes are.
