Butterberg Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fun wavy ridge trail. The last third is the most fun.

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.

View of the Eckertalsperre (Ecker Reservoir)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Eckerstausee is fed by various tributaries and is used to supply drinking water and energy: there are two turbines below the dam. If you walk over the 60-meter-high dam wall, you cross the former inner-German border between the FRG and the GDR.

Dam wall of the Eckertalsperre (HWN 001)

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful place steeped in history! A small information board on the well-kept white dam house gives interesting information.
On the Saxony-Anhalt side, various rocky outcrops and stones invite you to take a break with a very nice view of the lake and the wall.

Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.
