    Hiking

    A very beautiful and mostly very calm waterfall. The rest area nearby offers you enough seats. Above the waterfall you look down on Königshütte. There is also a stamp office for the Harzer hiking nobility up here. If you come here by car, you can park in front of the railway bridge on a large gravel area. If you have more time, after a few hundred meters you will find the Rabensteine, from which you have a magnificent view of the Hochharz.

    The waterfall, which was built in a former quarry, is a popular tourist destination and a stamping point for the Harz hiking badge. The stones of the Elbingerode church come from here.
