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. ;-)

Sunrise view from the Brocken

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's always an experience. A little tip; if you climb the Brocken at night, you should pack warm clothes. It can get really cold, even in summer.
