Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Bad Harzburg do Braunlage

Get ready for a scenic ride through the Harz mountains! Starting in Bad Harzburg, a charming spa town known for its historic castle and gateway to the Harz National Park, you’ll head south toward Braunlage. The route’s about 116 km, so it’s a solid adventure, and with over 1,700 meters of climbing, your legs will definitely get a workout.

Along the way, you’ll cruise mostly on paved or asphalt surfaces (about 60%), with some sections turning into gravel tracks for a bit of that off-the-beaten-path feel. The climbs are rewarded by lush forests, panoramic views, and classic half-timbered villages.

After a day on the road, you’ll roll into Braunlage, the “Heart of the Upper Harz.” Braunlage is famous for winter sports, but it’s a fantastic finish for cyclists too, nestled at nearly 600 meters elevation with plenty of cozy cafés to refuel. Bring layers—the weather can change quickly in the mountains!

Enjoy the peaceful roads, the natural beauty, and a true taste of the Harz.
