    Tips

    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.
