하르츠 산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Simply stunningly beautiful

Who dares to climb the rocks?

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.

Always well-trodden, it is also a rustic natural path that demands a lot from you. In winter, please bring ice or spikes.

The largest viewing rock on the ridge path is easy to climb thanks to the ascent aids.

The Ilse Falls plunge leisurely over a distance of one kilometer about 120 meters into the beautiful Ilsetal. The roaring Ilse can be heard from afar. The picturesque river has already inspired Heinrich Heine, who actually writes everything about it in his Harzreise: "It is indescribable how cheerfully, naively and gracefully the Ilse tumbles down over the adventurously formed pieces of rock, so that the water hisses wildly up here and then scuttles over the small stones again like a lively girl. Yes, Ilse is a princess who runs down the mountain laughing and blooming.”

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

Great view from here. There are various options for departure.
