Über den Brockengipfel und Eckertalsperre zurück nach Drei Annen Hohne

Tour length: approx. 36 km, elevation gain approx. 920 m, riding time 2 hrs 45 mins Total time including breaks for refreshments and photos: 4 hrs From the parking lot of the Brockenbahn in Drei Annen Hohne, we take the MTB signs for the "Volksbankarena Harz" Route 9 (also the Harzer Hexenstieg) initially towards the summit of Brocken. The 12 km consist of two-thirds gravel/trail and one-third asphalt (Brockenstraße). From the summit downhill, partly with a 20% gradient, to the ranger station Scharfenstein, here we have already left Route 9 and follow Route 10 over stones and roots to the Eckertalsperre. Photo shoot towards Brocken. Return on the same path and at the ranger station Scharfenstein, from here only on gravel, along Route 7 in a constant gentle downhill and uphill to the Stempelsbuche. Here we rejoin Route 9. Over the Molkenhausstern and the Chassee A we continue on gravel back to Drei Annen Hohne.

Tip: If you start the tour at 06:30 in Drei Annen Hohne, you will be alone on Brocken in the morning. Of course, the gastronomy is not yet open.
