Almost no cars's, road surface at the beginning from the Hotel very bad. I recommend starting via the main road. As the end progresses it gets very steep. Last part is gravel and thus a bit tricky with flat tyres otherwise a very nice climb.... read more

Nice counterpart to the Brocken. Literally, as this mountain was West German and acted as an eavesdrop post for the other side. You reach the summit via a car-free, pretty narrow road. Don't expect any shade, most of the forest, as elsewhere in the Harz, has by now been decayed by the typesetter. The mean steep last kilometre can still hurt you considerably.

Mooie tegenhanger van de Brocken. Letterlijk, want deze berg was West-Duits en fungeerde als afluisterpost voor de overzijde. U bereikt de top via een autovrije, mooie smalle weg. Verwacht geen schaduw, het meeste bos is zoals elders in de Harz inmiddels vergaan door de letterzetter. De gemeen steile laatste kilometer kan je nog fors pijn doen.

Bijna geen auto's, wegdek op het begin vanuit het Hotel heel slecht. Ik raad aan via de hoofdweg te beginnen. Naarmate het einde vordert wordt het heel steil. Laatste stuk is gravel en dus een beetje tricky met lekke banden voor de rest een hele mooie klim.

Closed road, so no traffic at all. Beautiful road through the woods and very difficult at points. Can be quite slippery when it's raining and there are leaves on the road.
