Hidden Ilse Stream

Gelber Brink – Harzer Wandernadel stamp checkpoint 022

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Halfway between the Scharfenstein ranger station and the Brocken summit, this small refuge hut stands on Hirtensteig.

The view of the Eckertalsperre is great and when then the downhill down to the Rangerhütte Scharfenstein with up to 20 percent gradient follows - perfect! But beware: hikers and dangerous cross grooves are to be considered!

Pioneer Trail along the Ecker

If you block it and like it technically, you will love the trail and have fun, this should be a warning to everyone else. 😜

Eckertalsperre dam

Highlight • Monument

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.

Ernstburgweg Junction
