    Hiking

    The Winzenburg is said to have been an important fortification up until the 10th century. Its last owners were the Counts of Regenstein, who used the already decaying castle in the late Middle Ages. Incidentally, the Winzenburg Tower is not related to the Germanic fortifications. This structure was built in 1860 as an observation tower.

    The Winzenburgturm is a beautiful observation tower on the Roßtrappenberg. It was built in 1860 on the site of the former Germanic Winzenburg. The tower is currently not accessible. An intuition is definitely worth it. Too bad that something breaks up.

    Hiking

    Thale is located on the north-eastern edge of the Harz Mountains, where the Bode emerges from the mountains and has dug a deep gorge between the steep, legendary rocks Hexentanzplatz and Rosstrappe. In this gorge, the wild and romantic Bodetal, exciting myths and legends, fairytale forests, babbling brooks and raging rivers, fascinating rock formations and fantastic views await the visitor.

    With the impressive Bodetal, the Hexentanzplatz and the Roßtrappe, the beautiful landscape and the entrance to the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg, a 100-kilometer long-distance hiking trail between Thale and Osterode, Thale is a very popular, eventful holiday destination for hikers and nature lovers.
