Tourist information Thale
Thale and the Bodetal have always attracted tourists.
Whether it's hiking on the Harzer Hexenstieg, through the rocky Bodetalschlucht gorge or a ride with the cable car to the Hexentanzplatz with a visit to the Harzer Bergtheater, the zoo or the witch's house, which is upside down. . . here is something for everyone.
The Bodetal-Tourist-Information can be found in the restored station building in Thale, near the Bodetal. In addition to event tickets, you can also purchase bus and train tickets from us.
