What it is
About 10 km from Quedlinburg, at Thale, the River Bode leaves the Harz through a narrow canyon between two granite massifs: on one side the Hexentanzplatz, the "witches' dance floor", and on the other the Rosstrappe. The path along the valley floor follows the river between blocks of stone and is one of the best-known walks in Germany.
How it works
Park in the large Bodetal car park, at Parkstraße 1a in Thale (€3 a day), or come by regional train from Quedlinburg. From the valley entrance, walk upstream as far as you like and return the same way; to go up to the viewpoints above, the cable car and chairlift leave from the same place.
