This loop rolls out from Wernigerode and quickly leads you into quiet forest roads and steady early climbs. A key highlight is the ascent of the Wurmberg, which adds a tougher effort with steeper gradients and great views. For some additional climbing you can also tackle the Brocken, or leave it for another day. The route then flows back through rolling terrain and smooth descents.
