Route
Starting in Magdeburg, the route heads straight south into the mystical landscape of Harz National Park. Beginning in the east, you will zigzag your way to the west, conquering the highest peaks and passes in the Harz!
After leaving the Harz Mountains at Bad Harzburg and entering the plains of the Magdeburger Börde on your way back to Magdeburg, most of the climbing will be over. However, be prepared for a few additional climbs along the way!
