Stamp point 71 / Rosstrappe (Schurre junction)

The Rosstrappe (403 m above sea level) is located above the Bode Valley and opposite the Hexentanzplatz.

The name of the Roß­trappe above the Bode­tal val­ley can be traced back to the king’s daugh­ter Brun­hilde. She once saved her­self from her kid­nap­per, the rob­ber baron Bodo, by jump­ing on her horse. Her horse jumped from the Hex­en­tanz­platz to the Roß­trappe and left a huge hoof­print in the rock. 

On the Roß­trappe there are sev­er­al out­stand­ing view­points down into the Bode Val­ley and across to the Hex­en­tanz­platz. You can also take the chair­lift up to the Roß­trappe from the Bode Valley. 

The stamp­ing point is locat­ed next to the infor­ma­tion board of the Harz Region­al Asso­ci­a­tion at the junc­tion to the Schurre.
