Roßtrappe

On the rocks is a mountain hotel with an observation terrace as well as the upper station for the chair lift.

Brunhilde escaped on a white stallion (German: Ross), but was suddenly confronted by a deep ravine.

Scientists suspect that this imprint in the rock is the weathered remains of a Germanic altar basin.

From the Roßtrappe visitors can climb down into the Bode Gorge on the Schurre, a path laid in zigzags.

The President’s Way (Präsidentenweg), about 4 km, is the recommended path to climb from the gorge to the rock outcrop.
