In the Corona year of 2020 in particular, many people rediscovered cycling for themselves; some as a healthy and environmentally conscious method of transportation; for others, a means of thundering down a wooded slopes as quickly as possible. Especially for the latter group, the Harz is likely to be an interesting and challenging travel destination. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braunlage<\/a><\/strong> is a suitable starting point for extensive downhill tours. The climatic health resort is located directly on the Lower Saxony border with Saxony-Anhalt and in the immediate vicinity of the Brocken, the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains and all of Lower Saxony in general. The region around the place is ideal for cycling, both for relaxed and extended bike tours as well as for sporty mountain bike training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don’t worry, there are so many and, above all, demanding trails where you can push your E-MTB to its limits. What you should notice on your first tour in the national park is the landscape which is so diverse that sometimes you don’t even know where you are. You\u2019ll be cycling idyllically across the open field and in the next moment, you\u2019ll see yourself confronted with rocky seas followed by a picture-book mountain lake. There\u2019s no need to worry about your eyes getting bored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
