Thale

Thale spans both banks of the Bode on the northern edge of the Harz in Saxony-Anhalt, where the river’s emergence from the Bode Gorge has shaped a meeting point between upland and foreland. The gorge, called the Bodetal in German, extends immediately south of town, its steep rock walls rising toward the Hexentanzplatz and Rosstrappe plateaus. Hexentanzplatz is associated with local Walpurgis Night and witch legends, and it is also home to the Harzer Bergtheater, an open-air theatre. Hiking routes follow the Bode into the Harz, while rail links keep Thale connected with surrounding towns.
