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. ;-)

I haven't seen it up there much more uncomfortably than today, but with a total of 18 men it was still a special event

On to the next tour🚴🏻💨

Great descent. Need good brakes. You have to be very careful, as the signs posted for hikers to go to the left are ignored. If the track is open, you can run well on a dry track.

In the morning at the gym
In the evening on the racing bike up the Brocken (virtually with Bkool)

I have to say I like the app more and more with each tour and it is definitely a top Zwift alternative
