November 13, 2022,Sonnenbrille 😎 statt Nebelsuppe ☁️ - Verkehrte Welt im Oberharz

On the way to the Harz with fog lights and 4°C.
Changed to sunglasses from Torfhaus and in 15°C t-shirt weather on the Brocken and Wurmberg with a folk festival atmosphere on the hiking trails.
The view from the Brocken above the Nebelsuppe stretched as far as the Rhön. 👌

May 7, 2022,Wurmberg zum Brocken und im Gewitter (Starkregen und Hagel) zurück nach Braunlage

That's what comes out if you trust the weather report, which says 2mm of rain.
Luckily, the Wurmberg cable car took me to the middle station (despite the weather) so that I didn't have to drive another 250 meters in the rain to get back to the Hexenritt.

September 2, 2022,02. Sep 2022 Brocken, Wurmberg und zurück zum Relexa-Hotel

Relexa Hotel 4 **** ? 🤔 For me, two poinsettias were somehow added to it.
Since I've spent my vacation in better hotels!

August 15, 2022,Braunlage - Brocken

12km of constant uphill with a few short very steep climbs (I pushed twice). The first km you can also take the dirt road instead of the hiking trail with many large stones and a lot of gravel that have been washed free.

September 2, 2023,4️⃣ Gipfel Tour 🌲🌲🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

Braunlage was the start. Achtermannshöhe, Torhaus, Brocken & Wurmberg were today's destinations. The tour already has some challenging passages. There was also some culture in the Brockenhaus, 7€ which is definitely worth it!
Unfortunately, on the way back I got the full load 🌧 from above... the plan was actually a little different. 😏Not recommended on the weekend 😅just too …

May 1, 2024,4.Tage zum Brocken und etwas unentschlossen hin und her

4th day, quickly to the Brocken before the crowds arrive, after that we drove around a bit aimlessly until I did the figure eight solo.

Unfortunately had to cancel the tour. Sprocket set has said goodbye to the rear freewheel. Could only step into the void!?
Should actually go to the Brocken summit and from there to the Wurmberg summit.
Back then only downhill to Braunlage. At least I didn't have to push :-)
