... for cycling and mountain bike tours

Would you like to cycle around Schierke? Then we have some tour suggestions here for mountain bikes, e-bikes or touring bikes with muscle drive.

Schierke is surrounded by a dense mountain bike network. Due to the valley location of the village, the term "mountain bike swing" between Schierke and Wurmberg characterises the special profile of the Schierke mountain bike area. The originality of the area is characterised by long, sometimes very steep climbs, the tangible proximity of the Harz foreland, which can be classified as flatland, combined with extraordinarily beautiful views from the summits. The Schierker cliffs often provide a special backdrop to the tours.
