Riding a road bike

Rennradfahren im Harz - Gruppe

In the Harz Mountains, you’ll find ideal conditions for cycling. Here you can just hop on your bike, set off, and experience the landscape of Germany’s northernmost low mountain range on your road bike.

Perfect training conditions and varied routes delight both ambitious cyclists and beginners alike. The diversity of the routes impresses with inclines of up to 18 per cent, making them especially suitable for strength-intensive sessions such as “strength with the bike”. The Harz region is used as a training centre both for individual race preparation and for training groups.

That’s hardly surprising, since major events such as

  • the Tour of Lower Saxony,
  • the Deutschland Tour
  • or the Peace Race

once stopped in Germany’s northernmost low mountain range.

Besides the numerous cycling tours, there are also hosts in our region who are specially prepared to meet the needs of road cyclists and warmly welcome them.
