Cycling day trip from Braunlage to Wernigerode

Get ready for an adventurous ride starting from the charming alpine town of Braunlage, known for its skiing and stunning landscapes, and ending in the fairytale-esque town of Wernigerode, famous for its colorful medieval houses and the majestic Wernigerode Castle.

Your 42-kilometer journey will take you through the heart of the picturesque Harz Mountains. You’ll be biking mostly on gravel tracks and paths that wind through dense forests, making for a peaceful and nature-filled experience. There will be a solid amount of ascending at first, climbing up to around 600 meters above sea level, so get ready to engage those leg muscles! But don't worry, the ride down to Wernigerode is smooth sailing with plenty of descent to help you relax and enjoy the stunning views.

Need a breather? The route meanders past quaint little villages and tranquil spots perfect for a short rest. Bring along your picnic blanket or stop at a café for some local treats.

Make sure to secure your bikes upon arrival and take some time to roam the cobbled streets of Wernigerode. It's a picturesque spot worth exploring after a rewarding cycling adventure. Happy riding!
