Bäumlersklippe, Rock formation in Ilsenburg, Germany

Bäumlersklippe is a crag among the Harzklippen rock formations in the Harz National Park, southwest of Ilsenburg. Beech and spruce have grown up around it, and remnants of an old fence still stand at the edge. In 2019 the site was restored as a destination, with an information board, a bench and a repaired outlook railing.

The crag takes its name from a hunter called Bäumler, who is said to have stabbed his only son out of jealousy in 1752 and later thrown himself from the rock. Theodor Fontane used this legendary family drama in his story "Ellernklipp". In 2019 the crag was restored as a destination, with an information board, a bench and a repaired outlook railing.

The crag's name comes from a hunter, Bäumler, said to have stabbed his only son out of jealousy in 1752 and then thrown himself from the rock. Theodor Fontane used this family drama in his story "Ellernklipp". In 2013 the crime series Heiter bis tödlich: Alles Klara filmed an episode titled Bäumlers Klippe here, centred on the murder of a Fontane expert below the crag.

The site is accessible by several hiking trails that run through the national park and offer different difficulty levels. Sturdy footwear is important as the paths cross rocky and uneven sections.

The crag was restored as a destination in 2019: an information board and a bench were installed and the outlook railing renewed. The Borkenkäferpfad (Bark Beetle Path) links Ilsenburg with the crag and other Harz rock formations.
