Torfhaus biker meeting point
In the Oberharz, motorcyclists can meet like-minded people on a number of mountain routes and at almost every car park along the mountain and valley routes. The biker meeting point in Torfhaus. At this large car park at an altitude of 812 metres - directly on the Bundesstraße 4 between Bad Harzburg and Braunlage - a large number of motorcyclists can be found every day.
A stop at one of the snack bars or restaurants is a must for motorcyclists on a Harz tour. The car park in Torfhaus is particularly popular with bikers at the weekend, as it offers a good view of the nearby Brocken.
