11 motor hotels in region harz, germany

The Harz is compact, but it keeps you busy. You can ride from one side to the other without long boring parts, and the roads around Braunlage, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Torfhaus and Thale are exactly the kind of roads you came for: forest, bends, short climbs and plenty of places for coffee. Torfhaus on the B4 is a well-known stop, partly because of the view towards the Brocken and partly because many riders simply end up there. For a nice break from riding, go towards the Bode valley, Rosstrappe and Hexentanzplatz near Thale. The Harz can be crowded on good weekends, so early starts are worth it.
