Königshütte Waterfall

Königshütte Waterfall, Artificial waterfall near Bundesstraße 27, Oberharz am Brocken, Germany.

Königshütte Waterfall is a man-made waterfall in the village of Königshütte, part of Oberharz am Brocken, on the southeastern slope of the Rabenstein at about 450 metres. It drops roughly 12 metres in a single fall from a rock edge, fed by a small ditch that branches off the Knesebeckkoppe. The water then flows into the Kalte Bode, and a small green area with picnic and barbecue facilities lies directly below the falls.

This waterfall emerged in 1994 from the transformation of a former stone quarry into a recreational area. That shift marked the location's move from industrial use to a landscape focused on leisure and walking.

The waterfall serves as a popular stopping point along hiking routes through the Harz region and draws visitors who explore the mountain landscape. Its location within established walking networks shapes the place as a gathering spot for people seeking mountain experiences.

The waterfall sits between the Neue Hütte and Rothehütte districts of Königshütte, on the southeastern slope of the Rabenstein at about 450 metres. The Bundesstraße 27 runs close by, and the falls can already be seen from the road; the Rübelandbahn railway also passes through the village. A small green area with a rest and barbecue spot lies directly below the falls, and the Harzer Wandernadel checkpoint no. 40 is at the rest area beneath the waterfall.

The waterfall is fed by a nameless ditch that branches off from the Knesebeckkoppe as a bifurcation, so its supply is separate from the Kalte Bode below. The Harzer Wandernadel checkpoint no. 40 stands at the rest area beneath the falls, not at the top as some accounts state.
