August 27, 2021,Thale - 🔍Blick ins Bodetal🏞️

Stopover in the Harz Mountains before the holiday on Rügen starts. The Roßtrappe is 403 m above sea level. NHN high granite rock above the Bodetal in the Harz Mountains. It is located opposite the Hexentanzplatz this can be reached via the town of Thale ... If you want, you can climb the Hexenplatz by cable car ... 🚡
