Blochhauer - Ilsestein - Plessenburg - Ilsefälle - Ilsetal
The circular hiking trail towards Ilsestein starts from the "Waldhotel am Ilsestein". Once there, the ascent to the cross should not be missed, from where you have a wonderful view of the Brocken and Ilsenburg. The Ilsestein service area invites you to linger. We continue towards Plessenburg, past the Paternoster cliffs with a panoramic view of Ilsenburg. When you arrive at the Plessenburg, the round trip leads over the Untere Gebbertsberg to the Ilse Falls. The path leads back through the Ilsetal past the Zanthierplatz below the Ilsestein.
DURATION: about 4 hours
LENGTH: about 13 kilometres
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: moderate
The legendary "Ilsestein" rock formation extends high above the roofs of Ilsenburg at a height of 160 m above the valley. The "Raststätte Ilsestein" is the perfect place to linger on the ascent to the summit cross.
The further path leads to the Waldgasthaus Plessenburg, where a selection of home-style dishes awaits you.
