    The Jungfernbrücke is located in the Hirschgrund at the Gasthaus Königsruhe in the Bodetal directly below the vantage point on the Roßtrappe. This narrow, stone pedestrian bridge allows you to cross the raging mountain river and ends on the north side directly in the terrace and beer garden area. It represents one of the few opportunities in the lower Bodetal to get to the other bank of the river without getting your feet wet. West of the bridge, the valley narrows to a very narrow gorge.

    The filigree construction of the Jungfernbrücke forms a strong contrast to the rough surroundings of rock and white water. According to legend, the structure could only be crossed by virgins, otherwise it would collapse. Because the bridge still exists today, there is probably little truth in this story.

    A steep ascent to the Hexentanzplatz begins near the south side of the Jungfernbrücke, which ends in the area of the zoo. The arduous path with numerous switchbacks leads more than 250 meters up.

      Beautiful stone bridge over the Bode. Right on the Hirschgrund. The Gasthaus Königsruhe is also here and invites you to take a break.

        At the end of the Harz Mountains, the Bodetal is downright alpine and fantastically beautiful. Due to the tourist development from Thale, this section is also feasible for inexperienced hikers👍🥾
