    The valley of the Warm Bode and the Cold Bode in the Harz Mountains is called the Bode Valley. In a narrower sense, the term Bode Valley refers only to the ten-kilometer-long, gorge-like section of the Bode between Treseburg and Thale. The Bode, which rises on the Brocken, the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, has cut into the morphologically hard Ramberg granite there. The gorge is about 140 meters deep near Treseburg and about 280 meters deep at the transition to the Harz foreland near Thale. The Bode Valley was declared a nature reserve on March 5, 1937 and later expanded. Currently covering 473.78 hectares, it is one of the largest nature reserves in Saxony-Anhalt. The Bode Valley was included in the list of 77 award-winning national geotopes in 2006.

      The devil himself has not been seen at the bridge named after him for a long time. According to legend, this could only be built with the support of this prince of darkness. In return, the devil asked for the soul of the first person to cross the structure. Normally this was the master builder himself. But he saw through the horse-footed man's plan and devised a ruse. When he inaugurated the bridge, the master builder drove a goat in front of him. So the devil - once again - got nothing.
