Beautiful landscape below the Brocken.

Although you are not yet at the top, you have a beautiful view of the valley from here. Unfortunately, many trees are broken.

Brockenbahn Steam Railway

Highlight • Structure

A ride on the Brockenbahn is a special experience. If you hike up the Brocken, you can hear her panting when she drives up or down the path.

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. ;-)

Ascent to the Brocken from Elend

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A 14-kilometer climb up the Brocken from Elend. The first section is quite challenging. Near Schierke, there's even a short downhill section. The final kilometer to the summit is a bit strenuous. Be careful of other cyclists and hikers.

A great start to the training camp. A cool group having a lot of fun. Very warm and therefore exhausting. But I don't want to complain.
