Trudenstein (HWN 17)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Trudenstein is still below the Hohnekamm and is included in the system of the Harzer hiking nobility with the number 17. Even if not so high; the view is still great and a bit of climbing is also necessary.

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. ;-)

View of the Eckertalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Eckertalsperre is great and when then the downhill down to the Rangerhütte Scharfenstein with up to 20 percent gradient follows - perfect! But beware: hikers and dangerous cross grooves are to be considered!

Hermann Crag

Highlight • Natural Monument

From here there is a magnificent view over the northern part of the Harz. Soon comes the Bismarckklippe, which is also recommended.
