You need very good weather conditions to get a good view of the Brocken; otherwise, you won't see anything. It's worth checking the information board beforehand to orient yourself on the horizon. If only you had binoculars with you!

Hiking

From the bridge you have a beautiful panoramic view over the treetops. Especially rewarding when the foliage has set in.

If you take a closer look while riding, or are just wondering...the countless small pieces of glass permanently scattered on the bike path aren't the result of boozy Father's Day rides with handcarts, but rather...vast amounts of additional broken glass were actually used in the construction of the dams on both sides. However, the small pieces had previously been smoothed through recycling and were/are no longer sharp. Just pay attention; they're lying around everywhere.
