Ilsenburg (Ilse) Water Level Gauge

Highlight • Structure

It's exciting to watch how quickly the water level rises during corresponding weather events and how quickly it falls again. Located right on the main path and therefore easy to reach.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located at a hiking junction quite unspectacular.
A shelter to pause available.

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. ;-)

Running, hiking and cycling in the Harz is always an experience.
Challenging tours or even hiking.
Nature is recovering and now that everything is green and blooming it is especially so.
Get going. 😊👍🌲🌲🌲
