Wanderlust Motorhome Site, Ilsetal

Highlight • Rest Area

The campsite can be used at any time, as the barrier opens at the entrance.
However, an exit is only possible after registering with Wanderlust!
The CP has 90 mobile homes, approx. 60 places are equipped with electricity connections.
A good start for a Brocken hike, if you like it more leisurely, you can take a leisurely stroll through the Ilsetal.

Zanthierplatz

Highlight • Monument

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.

Ilsetal (Ilse Valley) and the Ilse River

Highlight • River

The Ilsetal was named after the mountain river Ilse. The Ilse has a total length of 40 km and rises on the Brocken at an altitude of over 1000 meters. A hike through the Ilsetal along the Ilse is particularly beautiful. The hiking trail along the mountain river is the Heinrich-Heine-Weg, the most beautiful route to the Brocken. The cascade-like Ilse Falls are particularly worth seeing in the Ilsetal.

View of the Eckertalsperre

Highlight • Viewpoint

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!
