Stamping point 22 / Gelber Brink

On the way to the Brocken, attached to a display board, you will find the “Gelber Brink” stamp box (888 m above sea level). To the right of it, the hidden Ilse plunges down into the valley. 

You can hear the rush­ing of the riv­er and the riverbed is also rec­og­niz­able, but the water­course is hid­den under huge gran­ite rocks. The small rest­ing place tempts you to take a short break. 

The iron sign­post shows var­i­ous direc­tions. The Brock­en is only 4 km away. Near the stamp­ing point, the primeval for­est trail branch­es off from the Brock­en­straße, which leads direct­ly through the core zone of the nation­al park for about 200 m. You can read poems by the Blanken­burg writer Bernd Wolff on boards along this trail.
