At the end of our little hiking weekend there was a little hike through the Bodetal. Beautiful and totally recommended.

On the way we met Bernd, a pensioner from Thale, who then accompanied us part of the way and "fed" us with information about the Bodetal and also about Thale. That was really great. So the less than 2 hours …

The bitter cold envelops the landscape as the river is covered in a delicate layer of ice and icicles hang from the branches. The snow-covered banks bear witness to an untouched nature that remains in a frosty standstill. The majestic cliffs frame the scenery, their peaks on …

After a longer period of abstinence, this is another sign of life from us. Today we were in the Bodetal near Thale in the Harz Mountains. There is a beautiful hiking trail there, partly on both sides of the Bode, partly only on one side. With two lifts on the right and left there is a good opportunity to conquer …

A small one, but very cozy and clean: the "Aneton Garni" Hotel. It has an attached Greek restaurant, "Arthos." The hotel owners have already told our son where the safe with our …
