Froschfelsen, Natural rock formation in Ilsenburg, Germany.
Froschfelsen is a granite rock formation located on the western side of the Ilse valley near Ilsenburg. The stone sits at a higher elevation and offers views over the surrounding landscape from its position.
The rock gained its name from natural erosion that slowly shaped the granite into a form resembling a frog. This gradual weathering process has worked on the stone for thousands of years.
The rock serves as a recognizable landmark for outdoor enthusiasts exploring the Harz region. Visitors often use it as a gathering point and reference for exploring the surrounding hiking network.
The rock is accessible via several hiking trails in the area and sits in a region with good infrastructure for day visitors. Sturdy footwear is recommended since paths leading to the formation can be uneven in places.
The rock formation genuinely resembles a frog when viewed from certain angles, which often surprises visitors on closer inspection. This natural resemblance is what inspired the local name and makes it a popular spot for photographs.
