Accomodation
In many Harz towns and villages your hosts will know what mountain bikers need. They all display the sign "Mountainbiker willkommen" (mountain bikers welcome). For example, you will get lots of vitamins and carbohydrates for breakfast, lunch packs and ...
Information
Safety for mountain bikers is of paramount importance here in the Harz. You can help by having the right clothing and well-maintained equipment. Always keep your bike under control - there could be an unexpected hazard around the next corner! Just in case something does happen, the forestry offices in the Harz have set up a comprehensive network of numbered emergency location points so that the rescue services can find you quickly and easily.
MTB & eBike service
In many places, bike shops, tour guides or training courses complement the Harz mountain bike region and what it has to offer for this wonderful outdoor sport. In the cycling season from April to October it is also possible to rent mountain bikes and eBikes (pedelecs) at many locations – in some places even fat bikes for biking fun in winter.
Charge the batterie
When your battery runs out of energy – or you do, head with your eBike to one of the popular restaurants or cafés on your tour. If you see this
sign, they have an electricity socket for your battery charger – so both of you can refuel.
