Moderate road ride. Good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

YOUR adventure can begin here. There is a small hut on the edge of a large parking lot and signals the starting point of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg in the west-east direction. The legend and myth trail winds through the Harz Mountains over a length of almost 100 kilometers. If you still have enough time, a visit to Osterode's old town with its half-timbered houses is definitely recommended.

Highly recommended...delicious cake, just right for the climb to the dam and further to Clausthal-Zellerfeld.

Kornmagazin Osterode am Harz

Highlight • Monument

From Osterode, over Lehrbach up to the Glaustal Zerelfeld. But exhausting is worth an experience.

Eiskeller – Extra Smooth

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Smoothly paved by autumn 2025 – after decades of potholed and rough surfaces, it's finally a pleasure to cycle on this quiet side road. The southern section is called Eiskeller (Ice Cellar) because it's always a bit colder there – and a bit more icy in winter.

Herzberg–Scharzfeld Country Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice side road with 2 small bumps, the surface is relatively good, in some places also repaired several times.

Attention ⚠ under the bridge there is an elongated pothole on the ideal line, which you can see late or not at all, about 1.5 m from the right edge (see photo) !!! ⚠
