Jaja der Brocken, a must when visiting the Harz but not a mountain bike highlight for me. For the trail-seeking biker, the Harz has more to offer :)

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. ;-)

Thank you @Jens for inviting me to the highest mountain in the north. 👍🏻
The weather was with us, but unfortunately not the car. 🥹
Still, it was a beautiful day.
I had seen the pictures of the many dead trees beforehand, but I was still able to see some greenery here and there, which reached far up. The view …

Spontaneous tour from Braunlage via Wurmberg to Brocken. (The upper Ulm trail is not recommended as it is quite overgrown). We were able to enjoy a wonderful sunset. 🌅🧘🏼‍♀️The return journey did not take the Wurmbergstieg as planned (it was dark by now, very dark and then uphill, no), but rather the Grenzweg back towards Braunlage. It was once again …
