Bear Bridge over the Große Bode

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. ;-)

Neuer Goetheweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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 :)

July 30, 2024,Brocken am Abend 🌅

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 …

Today I had to climb the Brocken again. Because of Schatzi. But this time not with 🥾 but with 🚲.
On the descent, I made a detour via the Braunlage bike park. Here we went down the "single trail" descent. At the top, the trail is tough. Very blocked. I would say S3 🤩. Just crazy. But you can find …

After a long time, I finally made it back to the Brocken. However, it didn't greet me in a friendly manner, and hid for a while. It was also quite windy and I was glad I had a jacket with me. I was at the top around nine o'clock and there was nothing going on at the summit. 👌
