The Brockenwirt Restaurant

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. ;-)

View of the Eckertalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Eckertalsperre is great and when then the downhill down to the Rangerhütte Scharfenstein with up to 20 percent gradient follows - perfect! But beware: hikers and dangerous cross grooves are to be considered!
