Waters
The Ilse is a small but powerful stream fed by the northern slopes of Mount Brocken. Within Saxony-Anhalt, it forms several picturesque small cascades. You can follow its valley route on the Map page.
Highly praised by poet Heinrich Heine in his travelogues, this stream remains an important symbol of the romantic era in Deutschland.
