The Ilse is a southern and orographically right tributary of the Lahn in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Siegen-Wittgenstein ( Germany ). Viewed from the uppermost Ilsequelle , the Ilse is 8.7 km long and from its holy Ilsequelle 8.25 km.

geography

course

The Ilse rises and runs in the south of the Rothaargebirge , Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park and Westphalia near the central Hessian border from two sources, both of which are located on the border of Wittgenstein and Siegerland near the Bad Laaspher hamlet of Heiligenborn : the uppermost Ilsequelle is on the east-northeast slope of the Jagdberg ( 675.9  m above sea  level ) at an altitude of about 636  m , and about 0.5 kilometers downstream from the Ilse river lies the Heilige Ilsequelle on the northwest slope of the Kompass mountain ( 694.1  m ).

The Ilse flows through a narrow valley northeast through the Wittgensteiner Land. After taking in the Langenbach coming from Heiligenborn , which more than doubles its water flow , it passes the Wiedehuck mountains ( 578.6  m ), after which it flows past the hamlet of Lindenfeld ( 496.8  m ; to Bad Laasphe). After passing Inthalberg ( 538.7  m ) and Weidelbacher Haupt ( 587.7  m ) the Weidelbach joins . Then the stream passes the mountains Dörnberg ( 606  m ), Weißer Stein ( 527.6  m ) and Petersberg ( 570  m ).

Finally, the Ilse reaches Feudingerhütte , a district of Feudingen , which belongs to Bad Laasphe , where it flows from the south on the western edge of the village at an altitude of about 382  m into the Rhine tributary Lahn , which flows there from the west .

Landscape protection

The Ilse is located with its entire stretch of river in the Bad Laasphe landscape protection area ( CDDA no. 319747), which was designated in 1987 and is 123.11  km² in size.

Traffic and walking

From the confluence of the Langenbach , the district road  17 coming from Heiligenborn leads into the Ilsetal, past the hamlet Lindenfeld and Forsthaus Ilsenburg and then on to Banfe . Below the forester's house, the K 35 branches off from K 17, which leads down the stream along the Ilse to the mouth of the Feudingerhütte .

The Rothaarsteig and the Kleiner Rothaar fairytale hiking trail run right past the Holy Ilsequelle . Through Heiligenborn and from the confluence of the Langenbach, the European long-distance hiking trail E1 leads a few kilometers downstream along the Ilse. The Lahnwanderweg leads through parts of the Ilsetal .
