If you follow the Heinrich-Heine-Weg from Ilsetal to Brocken, you will almost always be accompanied by Ilse. Sometimes the path deviates from the river, sometimes it is crossed. You can take nice pictures in many places.

Heinrich Heine Trail (Ilse Valley)

Nature lovers should definitely prefer the hiking trail along the Ilse to the gravel road. The stony path is easy to walk when the brook splashes, surrounded by trees and rocks.
