In my opinion, one of the most beautiful climbs in the Harz Mountains! It’s a very well-paved forest road where no cars are allowed. This makes it the quietest climb from Altenau up to Torfhaus. At the top, you come out onto the four-lane federal highway and have to ride the last few kilometers to the summit from there.... read more

Meiner Meinung nach einer der schönsten Anstiege im Harz! Es handelt sich um einen sehr gut asphaltierten Fortstweg, auf dem kein Autoverkehr zugelassen ist. Es ist somit der ruhigste Anstieg von Altenau hoch nach Torfhaus. Oben kommt man an der 4 Spurigen Bundesstraßen raus und muss dort die letzten Kilometer bis zum Gipfel zu Ende fahren
