Bremer Weg / Heinrich-Heine-Weg

Of all the trails that lead to the highest peak of the Harz, the Heinrich-Heine-Weg is in my opinion the most beautiful. The famous poet chose this route in 1824. The scenic route leads on winding forest paths through the Ilsetal to the Ilsefälle and further up to the Brocken. The ascent to the Brockenkuppe is quite worthwhile, because the view is, in good visibility, simply spectacular.

A wonderful tour on wild grown paths and flat trails always along the water.

From Brocken you can reach the Ilse via an adventurous and rugged ravine.

From here, it snakes its way through its wild and romantic valley with several waterfalls.

Stone islands invite you to a picnic in the middle of the crystal-clear stream.

Beautiful but shy brown trout frolic in the clear pools on the way to Ilsenburg.

At the end of the forest path just before the high ropes course you can make excellent stops.

Start of the tour from Brocken / Bad Harzburg / Torfhaus and opposite of Ilsenburg uphill possible.

Great prospects are here almost everywhere.

Romantic Heinrich Heine Weg leads along the Ilse past large round rocks and the waterfalls

The Ilsetal is located on the northern part of the Harz. From the National Park town of Ilsenburg on the Harzfuss up to the headwaters of the Ilse - near the summit of the Brocken (1141.2 m above sea level) - extend various forests of the Harz. Heinrich Heine described the Ilsetal with its Ilse river and the Ilsestein towering above it in today's Harz National Park. (Wiki.)

Great valley for hiking

A beautiful valley with many small waterfalls and a wonderful but sometimes not so easy trail. But just a piece of wonderful nature.

Waterfalls, rocks and deciduous and coniferous forests. The Ilsetal and the Ilsefälle are just beautiful

Beautiful trail from the Bremer hut the upper Ilse falls to the outskirts of Ilsenburg

Very nice hiking trail along the river. There are also side inlets with waterfalls. Huge rocks in the riverbed and many waterfalls.

Heine's journey through the Harz Mountains is available in stock in bookshops.

Here is the Ilse partly roaring. Where the deciduous trees stop is currently the spruce the bark beetle all fallen victim

There where the Ilse still surrounded by deciduous trees is wonderful

Very nice hiking trail. Idyllic river and beautiful paths even if it is a bit rocky from time to time ...

The Ilsetal is very close to nature and not very crowded

magnificent hiking trail along the Ilse to Bremer Hütte

imposing, large rounded rocks and waterfalls

Pay attention to the weather and do not underestimate the track above it gets fierce.
Take some drinks

Great trail that you can commit at Brockenaufstieg of Ilsenburg.

A very beautiful Bachtal the Ilse. Something rustic. The path is a bit rocky. A top way. Everywhere rushing water.

Beautifully laid out the trail on the Ilse

Great hiking trail along the Ilse.
