Mountaineering
The Ilsestein is undoubtedly one of the extensive list of particularly impressive rock cliffs in the Harz. Its walkable part is about 130 meters long, with its upper area being a narrow, just a few meters wide rock ridge. The elongated granite formation runs from southeast to northwest. The Ilsestein is densely forested, but still has many vantage points with impressive views. The terrain drops almost vertically in some places. Many of the areas accessible to visitors are secured with railings, but not everywhere.
