Himmelpforte Monastery — Rest Area & Stamp Station

Highlight • Rest Area

From the monastery only a small wall is recognizable otherwise it is a nice stamp from the monastery hiking trail.

Jump line at Waldbad Darlingerode

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Great little trail with jumps for beginners and advanced hikers. When it's wet/frosty there are a few roots that make the bigger jumps difficult.

May 11, 2024,Trailpark Harz - es mangelt noch an Fahrtechnik 🙈😅

So the Kammweg 3 was absolutely nothing 😅 with the Conti CKs I couldn't even stop when fully blocked, so I preferred to push.
And now I've had a flat tire for the second time in three weeks. No flat tires for three years and now two in such a short time 😱 I said in the car that I …

Still hit Ch. and O. on the 4th. The two were busy again and built a new bench and bike stand, among other things. 👍🏻😊

Last round in 2024. Top conditions. Mega grip on the frozen ground.

I didn't want to leave today. Rain ☔️, fog, cold.
But then I got upset. And promptly the sun came ☀️ and stayed all afternoon.

Overall, the trails were pretty good to ride.
Starting with the steep zig and zag, i.e. the K2, the other trails were relatively easy to ride.

A great afternoon. 💪🏻😊

The Harz is simply beautiful for cycling. Today I rode the Kammweg once and the Jack the Ripper twice.
Both are tough climbs, but the trails are really worth it. That's why you're happy to put yourself through such torture
