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 of the Hexentanzplatz and the Roßtrappe. In this gorge, the wild and romantic Bodetal, visitors can expect exciting myths and legends, fairytale forests, babbling brooks and rushing rivers, fascinating rock formations and fantastic views.

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

The Hexentanzplatz, located on a rocky plateau at 454 m above sea level high above the Bode Valley, is transformed every year on the night of May 1st, Walpurgis Night, into the festival site of witches and devils, a place of myths and legends.

With the remains of a former castle complex, the Hexenring with its sculptures and the Walpurgis Hall, the Hexentanzplatz is also a uniquely mystical place on the other days of the year. Other attractions of the Hexentanzplatz are the Harz Mountain Theater, the Harzbob and the Thale Zoo.

No less legendary is the Roßtrappe, a 403-meter-high granite rock rising from the Bode Valley above the left bank of the Bode. Numerous legends surround the rock, which is considered one of the most magnificent rock formations north of the Alps, due to a depression that resembles a footprint. This story is vividly told in the legend pavilion high up on the Roßtrappe.

The Bodetal has another highlight with the Thale Adventure World cable car. It is the starting point of the cable car to the Hexentanzplatz and the chairlift to the Roßtrappe and offers a wide range of fun and leisure activities for all ages with various fun parks, a demonstration hydroelectric power station, a downhill course and the Hexenkessel.

The Bodetal Therme with its thermal baths, sauna world, relaxation and health programs, as well as wellness and massage offers ensures rest and relaxation after an eventful day.
