Start point

5.18 km

Ilse Waterfalls on the Bremer Trail and Heinrich-Heine Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

Probably the most beautiful way to the Brocken. The Ilsetal is always worth a trip, even if it doesn't go all the way to the top.

Bremen hut (HWN 006)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Our shelters in the Harz National Park are usually located in places worth seeing and are therefore popular hiking destinations. They serve as a short-term rest and break option and as protection in the event of bad weather. Overnight stays are only permitted in an emergency. In the interest of everyone, whether human or animal, our shelters must be kept clean.

View of the Eckertalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Brocken departure is quite steep on this side and consists almost exclusively of the holey concrete slabs. That can sometimes be quite rough. In between, there are always recessed gutters made of concrete. The first one surprised me absolutely at tempo 50 - then I was completely concentrated again.

Very bumpy, but still very fast. You have to be careful. I drive a hardtail with the 26 inch tires. So you do not "bang" over everything just like that. But a great experience that I would repeat at any time.

Brocken Summit

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in the Harz above the tree line. Certainly not the most exciting climb on a mountain bike, but still a must, simply because it's there. ;-)

Eckersprung Shelter (HWN 136)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Eckersprung is the border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. It used to be the death strip, today called the Green Belt. Here is a refuge and a rest area. In addition, a stamp office of the Harzer hiking nobility.

Scharfenstein Rest Hut (HWN 002)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

First-hand information in the middle of the national park. - Opening hours: daily 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Arrival and accessibility:
The Scharfenstein ranger station cannot be reached by car.

Coming from Ilsenburg, you hike along the wild and romantic Ilse, following the Heinrich-Heine-Weg over Sand- and Tiefenbachtal and finally reach our two log cabins at the foot of the Scharfenstein cliff.

From Bad Harzburg, you go via the national park forest restaurant "Molkenhaus", crossing the Eckertal dam, past the Frankenbergstein up to the rest hut and ranger station at Scharfenstein.

The ranger station is currently not wheelchair accessible.

Crucifix (HWN 3)

Highlight • Monument

The inner-German border was located at the crucifix (550 m above sea level) and was therefore not accessible. The cross had to give way to the border fence and was rebuilt in 1990. Today a nice rest area with a shelter on the former patrol path.
