Gentle ascent to Silberhütte "to warm up". Keep right towards St. Andreasberg, then can be very steep through the village. The climb is a must in the Harz!

Sanfter Anstieg bis Silberhütte "zum Aufwärmen". Rechts halten Richtung St. Andreasberg, dann steil durch den Ort. Der Anstieg ist ein Muss im Harz!
