On this motorcycle route, you will discover the entire UNESCO World Heritage site in the Harz. You will ride through beautiful nature, through steep right and left curves, uphill and downhill. The temperatures remain pleasantly cool even on hot days. That’s what makes motorcycle riding fun.
But apart from the beautiful nature, there is much more to see on the route: the Goslar Imperial Palace, Walkenried Monastery, highlights from mining times and water management at the Rammelsberg and in the Upper Harz, and much more…
The route takes at least 6 hours. For e-motorcycles, the time depends on charging times.
