The Goethe Trail, which will lead you to the highest peak in the Harz Mountains, begins at the last house in Torfhaus. However, it is no longer possible to reconstruct exactly which route Goethe took back then\u2014the only certainty is that he did not follow the exact path you are walking today. Incidentally, the Goetheweg is part of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg trail.   <\/p><p>Leaving the last houses of Torfhaus behind, follow the Goetheweg trail up to the Brocken; after a short walk, you\u2019ll reach the Gro\u00dfes Torfhausmoor, also known as Radauer Born. It is one of the largest and oldest bogs in the Harz Mountains. You\u2019ll cross this raised bog on a boardwalk maintained by the Harz National Park. Like all raised bogs, it derives its nutrients exclusively from rainwater and is therefore very nutrient-poor. The term \u201craised bog\u201d comes from the slight, watchglass-shaped dome in the center of the bog, which you can clearly see at this point. Raised bogs are a habitat for specialized species\u2014only animals and plants that are particularly well-adapted can live and survive here.     <\/p><p>Enjoy the view across the vast, treeless moor\u2014on a clear day, you can see the Brocken in the background. On the western edge of the moor, the Radau springs forth\u2014the source stream of the popular artificial waterfall near Bad Harzburg. Right next to the boardwalk, you\u2019ll see a stagnation complex in the raised bog\u2014here, the moor\u2019s growth has come to a standstill.
