In the Radau valley, we hike off the beaten tourist paths on charming trails.

The starting point of our hike is the HarzWaldHaus in the Kurpark. We follow the signs to the climbing park and hike along the Philosophenweg towards the Radau waterfall. On the right we have a good view of the gabbro quarry. At the inn near the waterfall we can stop and take a break. A few minutes later we pass the sulfur spring and the Taternbruch. On the path south of the Radau, we hike through the very scenic Radau valley. Past the Abbetränke we reach the Grottenklippenweg and enjoy the fantastic view. Part of the way goes along the cliff before the upper Winterberghangweg leads us to the Molkenhaus. Over the Ettersklippe we descend to the Kurpark, our starting point.
