Fantastic hike through the Ilsetal in the footsteps of Heinrich Heine. The food at the Waldgasthof Plessenburg was delicious and filling (plessenburg.de/). In a small but fine hut, we were lovingly cared for by a young landlady with cocoa and coffee. In the National Park House Ilsetal we were then surprised by a climbing wild cat.

Incidentally, the Bavarian Wolpertinger is called “Rasselbock” in the Harz Mountains.

The Waldgasthaus Plessenburg is the perfect place for a refreshment on a tour to the Brocken.

Very good possibility for a short rest. May be longer. Very good offer of in-house kitchen. 😜 Self-service is speedy.😀
