Nice hike from the Ilsenburg Womo parking space to the frog rock, pigeon cliff and back to Ilsenburg. It went through beautiful forest sections, we could look to the Brocken and even hear deer at Brumpft .....

On the way in the Harz National Park 👣🐾

From Ilsenburg we hiked up the stairs into the forest, from here you have a great view of Ilsenburg.
We walked further via the Jägersteig to the special stamp point on the bark beetle path.

Video description on my video channel of the same name: Nice, not too big hike. The climb at the beginning requires a bit of fitness. The forest in the mountains to Taubenklippe is currently dead.

The starting point was the hiking car park in Ilsenburg. Good to hike as a circuit. Even with children.
Unfortunately, the stamp on the Taubenklippe was gone. A pity.
All in all a great round through Harz. Nice to see how the forest grows again after the spruce died 🌲🌿

Today there was a mass hike from the hiking car park towards Ilsenstein. So we went into plan B. After a somewhat demanding but not too extreme climb, the first special stamp was added to the booklet. The "Bark Beetle Trail". There are probably a few more information boards about it, but somehow we must have missed them. The path …

Given today's temperatures, it was quite a sweaty climb up the bark beetle trail toward the Taubenklippe. But there was no point in complaining, and the last two Ilsenburg stamps still had to be collected. And the detour to the Westerbergklippe was a must.

Started late and hoping for a cloud gap.
Didn't work, so we went through the fog once. mystical ; I can only say.
A steep, steadily rising path leads to the frog rock. Once at the top, we continued to the Taubenklippe and then quickly down to arrive at the parking lot in the light.
