Bodetal Gorge

The Bodetal is probably the most beautiful valley in the Harz and is also one of the most beautiful gorges in Germany. In some places it is also referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Harz Mountains. The granite rocks rise up to 280 m to the right and left of the river Bode. This rises on the Brocken and paves an impressive path through granite and stone. The many rocks, smoothed by the raging water, invite you to take a break and cool off your hot feet in many places.

A hike through the Bodetal is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the Harz Mountains. Unfortunately, others know that too. Therefore you have to be prepared for a lot of public traffic when hiking through the Bodeschlucht. The 9 kilometer hike from Thale to Treseburg is best to start early in the morning, then it is less busy. The way back can be covered by bus.

Pure hiking. Absolutely stunning valley. Rugged and powerful. Just wow. Leave it as it is and take your rubbish with you.✌️
