Thale lies on the northeastern edge of the Harz, where the Bode emerges from the mountains and has dug a deep gorge between the steep, legendary rocks of Hexentanzplatz and Roßtrappe. In this gorge, the wildly romantic Bodetal, visitors can expect exciting myths and legends, fairy-tale forests, babbling streams and raging 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 100-kilometer-long long-distance hiking trail between Thale and Osterode, Thale is a very popular, eventful holiday destination for hiking and nature lovers.

The Hexentanzplatz, located on a rocky plateau at 454 m above sea level high above the Bodetal, 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 Witches' Ring with its sculptures and the Walpurgis Hall, the Witches' Dance Place is also a uniquely mystical place on the remaining days of the year. Other attractions at the Hexentanzplatz include the Harzer Bergtheater, the Harzbob and the Thale Zoo.

No less legendary, the Roßtrappe, a 403 meter high granite rock, rises from the Bodetal above the left bank of the Bode. There are numerous legends surrounding the rock, which is considered one of the greatest 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 cars. It is the starting point of the cable car to the Hexentanzplatz and the chair lift to the Roßtrappe and offers a wide range of fun and leisure activities for young and old with various fun parks, a show hydroelectric power station, a downhill route and the Hexenkessel.

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

The Bode is a very beautiful, wild river. Due to the very stony river bed, you will be accompanied by the constant noise during the hike. There are many places where you can get very close to the river; the granite plateau is certainly the most impressive place.
