Hiking

On the outskirts of the Wiegersdorf district is the Ilgenborn, which brings up to 14,000 liters of water to the surface every day.

The history of the Ilgenborn goes back to the 15th century. This spring used to feed the residents of the area with its bubbling water. Even in dry seasons, the source never runs dry. Because of its excellent quality, many Ilfeld people still get their drinking water from this source today.

The ancient natural monument almost fell into oblivion, but in 1938 the Ilgenborn was extensively renovated by some nature lovers and the surroundings redesigned.

Hiking

The Ilgenborn is a spring on the eastern edge of the Wiegersdorf district of Ilfeld. Here the sore feet can be cooled perfectly. The covered rest area invites you to relax.

If you're not careful, you're already over. In the meantime, however, there is a nice opportunity to linger here.
