Close-up of the sea of rocks in the Sauerland region of Heer.

The Teufelmauer near Weddersleben is one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany.

The Roßtrappe rises above the Bodetal near Thale. On the frosty 06.01.2016, the rocks are shrouded in fog, so the opposite Hexentanzplatz cannot be seen.

Beautiful mystical shot of a legendary landscape! Goethe would surely be thrilled too ;-) I love the hike from the Roßtrappe down into the Bodetal and then up to the Prinzensicht and the Hexentanzplatz. The cable cars make it easy to combine.
Best regards, André

Thank you André,

we used the chairlift, but at the frosty temperatures we were pretty much the only ones. Sunny weather would of course have the advantage that the visibility would be better – especially since you have a very nice view from the Roßtrappe. But such photos are rarer to capture.

Best regards

This view in the area of the Old Castle in Aschersleben has become known as the "Brockenblick." Those who look closely at the left edge of the row of wind turbines in the background can spot the elevation. 🕓 30.5.2025 | 20:04 hrs 
