July 12, 2023,Tour von Braunlage auf dem Wurmberg

Today we went to the end of the Harz mountains again briefly on the Wurmberg. It was very windy, but the visibility is more than great. There was a short break on the Wurmberg, then we went down the fastest way 😂. Didn't know until then that braking can be exhausting.
