best season
This hike to the Radau Waterfall offers variety and a surprising refreshment at the sulfur spring.
We start our hike at the "HarzWaldHaus" at the Kurpark and walk through the Cold Valley to the climbing garden. Here we can put our skills to the test and prepare ourselves for the route ahead. Continuing along the Philosopher's Path, we get a good view of the gabbro quarry on the other side of the valley. Finally, we reach the Radau Waterfall and enjoy a short break in a beautiful setting. Next, we head to the sulfur spring where we can refresh ourselves. Via the Lohnbach ascent, the lower Winterberg slope path, and the Rudolfklippe ascent, we reach the Molkenhaus. Here we can rest in an idyllic location before descending again via the Ettersklippe and hiking back to the Kurpark.
