Fietsen in de Harz: Gravel Paradijs

Cycling in the Harz betekent een onontdekt gebied verkennen op de Gravelbike. Dit gebied is ruig, staat vol bomen en het is er echt muisstil. Je kan hier perfect graveling, fietsers noemen het een waar gravelparadijs! Het ligt op de grens van het voormalig IJzeren Gordijn en hier is een grensweg van gemaakt. Die weg gaan wij natuurlijk fietsen! Net als een aantal andere prachtige routes. De dorpjes zijn typisch Duits en ademen geschiedenis.  

In de Harz fietsen betekent off-grid zijn. Deze reis is een unieke samenwerking tussen Village Department, the first cycling village in the Netherlands, and RideUp! Are you there?

You arrive at the beautiful Relexa Hotel in Braunlage. Unpack, settle in and get changed.

Prepare your bike and then we leave at the agreed time for an opening ride of approximately 30 km.
Your adventure has begun!

It's about to start! And we get off to a great start with the Grenzweg, or Das Grüne Band. The Iron Curtain used to stand on this road. The authorities have restored this, but in a positive way! 

When you return, splash in the pool and recover for the next day!

We're going to climb! The highest mountain in the Harz mountain range is the Brocken. We are going to explore this. Because it is possible and for the challenge. But especially because the view from this point is phenomenal!

The last long day again. We are preparing for a tour through and around the Harz National Park. Swinging, up and down, tranquility, nature, this ride has it all!

Unfortunately, this adventure is coming to an end. For those who want, a joint ride of about 30 km is planned. Out together, home together. At a chatting pace. Let's look back on a few beautiful and successful days!

Have a nice trip back!
