High and safe above the Bodekessel you can hear how powerful the Bode flows through the rocks. And if you look closely, you might even find the giant knight Bodo, who is enchanted as a dog and watches over a crown weighing tons that a princess on horseback lost while jumping over the Bodetal. You can find out more about this in the legend about the Rosstrappe (bodetal.de/urlaub-im-harz/urlaubsregion-bodetal/ausflugsziel/rosstrappe.html).

The Bodekessel lies deep in the Bodetal and can be reached either from Thale or from Treseburg. The underground of the paths is not always level.

Wild and beautiful. At some sections you come to the shore. Feet in and cool. 😨
