Safety for mountain bikers is of paramount importance here in the Harz. You can help by having the right clothing and well-maintained equipment.

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.

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.
