The Harz Cross of the German East (⊙) was inaugurated on June 24, 1950 in the presence of Ernst Reuter, northeast of and slightly below the summit of the Uhlenköpfe (555.4 m above sea level) on the Uhlenklippe, about 2 km southeast of Bad Harzburg (Goslar district, Lower Saxony). The 20.5-meter-high wooden cross, which had become dilapidated by then, collapsed in a hurricane on March 4, 1998. On September 30, 2000, a new steel cross, 17.7 m high and 6.3 m wide, partially clad in wood, was inaugurated. The construction costs amounted to 180,000 DM. The cross is included as No. 122 in the system of stamp stations of the Harz hiking badge; the stamp box hangs on a shelter near the cross. Source: Wikipedia

The water of the wild Ilse flows loudly down the valley over a multitude of small and large cascade-like natural waterfalls. Over the millennia, nature has created a truly impressive, interconnected attraction of rock and water. You can always discover beautiful views and enjoy nature at various rest areas.

Cats can't be seen when it rains😅, it's nice that the enclosure exists. And the lynx is back in the Harz Mountains.

Eye to eye with the lynx The brush ears are back in the Harz forests. But like all cats, they are very shy. So anyone who sees them in the wild is really lucky. So that everyone can admire them, we have built a lynx display enclosure on the Rabenklippe near Bad Harzburg. Here you can watch our lynxes basking in the sun, climbing trees or sneaking through their territory. Our public lynx feeding is particularly popular. Here you can learn interesting facts about the lynx from our national park staff and you can observe the big cats up close while they are eating. opening hours Regular: The lynx display enclosure is accessible at all times. The public lynx feeding takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. Registration is not necessary for groups either. Admission is free. Note: Spectacular photos are guaranteed when the animals present themselves in the attractive and rugged enclosure landscape. However, the large enclosure also offers the animals numerous hiding places, so that they cannot always be discovered. A high visitor's platform enables a "fence-free" view of large parts of the enclosure landscape. getting there The lynx enclosure on the Rabenklippe is located near Bad Harzburg in the middle of the forest. Access by car is not possible, the access road is closed to public traffic. You can reach the lynx enclosure from Bad Harzburg via designated hiking trails. The distance is around 4 kilometers, so please plan enough time for the hike. You save around 200 meters in altitude if you take the Burgberg cable car up the Burgberg. From the mountain station you hike about 60 minutes to the lynx enclosure. Please also note our tour recommendation "On the way to the lynxes". From April to early November, the “Grüner Harzer” bus line (KVG bus line 875) runs between Bad Harzburg and the lynx enclosure on the Rabenklippe. https://www.nationalpark-harz.de/de/natur-erleben/luchsgehege/

The vantage point in the Ilsetal! Stamp point of the Harzer hiking pin and on weekends there is also a summit beer.

The rock formations look impressive from afar......the view is fantastic....

Always a highlight on a hike here and a great photo opportunity, the associated stamping point of the Harz hiking pin is located in a shelter on the hiking trail.

Rarely seen even in the cage, but we were lucky enough to see Pamina.
