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.
