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.

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. ;-)

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.

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

Schwarze Schluftwasser

Highlight • River

Beautiful landscape below the Brocken.
At least almost car-free, but of course tons of hikers.
