Ilse Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

If there is enough snow, the upper and lower Ilse falls are also great for a snowshoe tour

The HSB (Harzer Schmalspurbahnen) have parked a (red) tank car with extinguishing water on the Brocken for possible accidents. The wagon stands on a trolley, in winter it goes into the valley.
This tank car was only in Drei Annen Hohne and was subsequently marked by the HSB.
It is used solely for the extinguishing agent reserve and is shut down again in winter.

View of the Eckertalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Eckertalsperre is great and when then the downhill down to the Rangerhütte Scharfenstein with up to 20 percent gradient follows - perfect! But beware: hikers and dangerous cross grooves are to be considered!

Hermann Crag

Highlight • Natural Monument

From here there is a magnificent view over the northern part of the Harz. Soon comes the Bismarckklippe, which is also recommended.

Ilse River below the Ilsestein

Highlight • River

The Ilse rises about two kilometers south-east of the Brocken summit on the south-east slope of the Heinrichshöhe. Its source is about 960 meters above sea level. The Urwaldstieg branching off from the Brockenstraße leads directly into this otherwise inaccessible headwaters of the Ilse.
According to old legends, the Ilse received its name from a maiden or princess of the same name, who threw herself or was threw herself into the torrential waters here.

This is what happens when you get a parking ticket for 2 hours, just start cycling and see how your legs feel today! Cool!

At the beginning of the year, the chunk was quite a chunk. Corona sends a little hello. It was a great tour again, even though it started raining from the Brockenstrasse to the Brockenstein. In the cloud house there was delicious tea again. Thanks for the water for tea @Christoph Kehse and for the delicious muffins from @Knolau7. The moon …

Good conditions and a clear view on the way up, then there was a heavy shower, fog and wind.😅👌🏻

After a break in the little cloud house, the quartet went back up the Hirtenstieg towards Ilsenburg.

Next time again with a longer descent.👍🏻

When Christoph invited me to a nightly tour on the Brocken at the end of October under the full moon, I had just gotten over an infection (or so I thought) and thought the idea was great. Haven't been up there for a long time. 3 days later I was really ill, my condition quickly went down the drain. Even …

Wonderful ride to the Brocken. Even if a few forests are of course broken, the evening light has bathed everything in a beautiful gold and later in a delicate pink. The paths are easy to drive on, but mostly made of small gravel stones, so you should slow down a bit, especially on the descent 😂. At the lower part, …
