Scenic Mountain Road with Panoramic Views

Highlight • Viewpoint

Exactly what the Harz Hochstraße, for example, is unfortunately far too rare for: narrow, narrow, curvy. Absolutely recommended, especially downhill towards Altenau 😁

One after the other:
-Kalbetal/Torfhaus from the Okertalsperre
-Wurmberg
-Brocken via Elend
-Sonnenberg
In between there were unfortunately busy district and federal roads due to the lack of cycle paths.
At the Brocken it was a matter of slalom driving around the hikers climbing the mountain in rows of four.
