ハルツゲローデのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

An original decoration on the rain gutter.

A nicely made tin dragon busily sipping water from the roof drainage.

The view is truly spectacular. I recommend the seats overlooking the valley. You can get very close to the rocks at times, and these moments are the real photo hotspots.

always worth a trip

Here you can take the train from the Hexentanzplatz down to Thale.

The neo-Romanesque church was then built in 1904/1905 according to a design by Quedlinburg building councillor Paul Ochs in the Rhenish late Romanesque style with richly designed facades. The result was a central building made of stone, rising up in the shape of a cross, dominated by a mighty octagonal tower. The church tower is crowned by a pointed helmet. The church roof is covered with slate. The northern arm of the building serves as the altar house and has a five-eighth choir polygon. The western arm is the sacristy and a round stair tower with two side portals. The windows of the church are designed as two- or three-arched windows. Source: Wikipedia

The Bode Valley is really beautiful. The path is good, but the slopes are not all very stable, which means that it is often closed and you should only walk on it at your own risk anyway (well, what else).

An almost alpine ascent - but well-paved in many parts. 'Via ferrata' is a bit of an exaggeration, but you do need to be a little sure-footed and, above all, be careful not to dislodge any stones that could then hit hikers on the path below or in the Bode Valley. A real treat for anyone who feels comfortable on steeper terrain and scree.
