Thale is a small town in the Saxony-Anhalt region, located in the north-east of the steep slopes of the Harz Mountains. Since 2004, the valley has been a nationally recognized resort. Tourists are attracted by the picturesque landscapes of rocky mountains and the equally delightful valley of the Bode River.
As the center of pagan worship in Germany, it is now a great place for walking and relaxation. The Bode River cuts through the Harz Mountains, and right outside the Thale, it flows through an impressive series of rapids and clear pools. This is another area very much loved by German poets. Goethe, Heine, Herder, Klopstock and Fontane walked these paths, which inspired some of their compositions. The Tourist Information Office is located just behind the small train station. This is a good place to book a hotel, get a city map and walking routes, and pick up brochures about local attractions and events.
