Hiking

The path is very steep here and anything but easy to walk. But the view over the path is wonderful and compensated. I like walking him very much.

Road surface:
First a small piece of grit, from the left curve to the chunk up perforated concrete slabs. Not so nice, but as I said, the experience is great.

One of the paths on the Brocken, especially recommended in winter when you can't see the old concrete slabs.

For a long time, it was not possible to simply climb the Brocken and enjoy the view. When Germany was still divided in two, the Brocken was a restricted area and was used as a strategic point to spy on the West. Back then, military vehicles rattled up (and down) this armored track. Today, you can experience this on your bike. These tracks are typical of remote military and commercial tracks in rural areas of East Germany. Just let it run and it will only shake half as much. ;)
