01 · The Race

What is waiting.

The season begins at the foot of the Brocken. The Harz in April is unpredictable: sunshine, hail and headwind can all turn up in a single lap. That is exactly what makes this race the classic of the series. The start is at Drei Annen Hohne station, where the narrow gauge steam railway runs past.
