Wernigerode Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Super beautiful little town and despite tourism it has remained quirky. I always enjoy coming here - even in winter.

View of the Zillierbach Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

From there there is a nice view of the dam! So the way from the lock to the shore is worth it.

Trudenstein (HWN 17)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Trudenstein is still below the Hohnekamm and is included in the system of the Harzer hiking nobility with the number 17. Even if not so high; the view is still great and a bit of climbing is also necessary.

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. ;-)

Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.
