    The Rosstrappe rock near Thale, which protrudes far above, impresses above all with its steep edges and its view. Hundreds of meters of steep flanks fall here and somewhere down below the Bode flows rushing. The Rosstrappe is usually well attended, so you should avoid it on weekends. But the view is always worth it.

    Typical Harz: The Rosstrappe owes its name to a legend. Prince Bodo pursued the king's daughter Brunhilde, who saved herself with a bold leap on her horse from the Hexentanzplatz (the rock opposite the Rosstrappe) via the Bodetal to the Rosstrappe. However, the prince's horse didn't make it, it fell down (Bode) and Bodo turned into a black dog. It is said that the hoof print of Brunhilde's landing can still be seen on the Rosstrappe.

      This destination is less suitable for hikers who love the peace and solitude of nature. There is a lot going on even in bad weather. However, once you've been there, you'll understand why.

      Be careful, hold small children by hand and keep dogs on a leash. It goes down abruptly steeply.

      Beautiful rock formations with a great view of the Bodetal and the roaring Bode.

      The path is well rooted and rocky.

      Stamp hunter:
      - Here you can find stamp 71 of the Harz hiking pin.
      - Since Göthe was here too, you can also stamp in the Göthe booklet.

        Attention: dogs on a leash and small children on their hands!
        Here it goes very steeply down.
        Here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Bodetal.
        Unfortunately always very overcrowded.
