Here in the mountains, you can experience first-hand the fascination of a mountain bike tour. Feel the fresh wind in your face and reach destinations far away from the roads. Take in the view from the summit to the horizon – the effort of the climb is quickly forgotten when a tremendous feeling of happiness spreads through you.

With a keen eye for discovery, you will find mine shafts, trenches and ponds in the Upper Harz. They tell of the mining industry of centuries past and are now famous as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The starting points offer much more for families – whether as an extra after the MTB tour, as an alternative for younger siblings or as swimming fun for everyone!

The family-friendly routes are easy to manage with children aged 12 and above, and some are also suitable for younger children.
