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 Wernigerode Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle can be seen from a great distance because it is on the top. It's not that easy to get to the square by bike, but it's very nice. You can buy a ticket and go inside.

September 22, 2024,Herbstanfang...u.ein Brocken-mässiger Sonnenaufgang

A lot of cars in the direction of Schierke today on the 4th of Advent. Closed snow cover with coarse split on the Brockenstrasse. On top of the Brocken -6°C. Cold fingers when driving down.
