The Roßtrappe rises high over the Bode Gorge in the Harz. It may be reached from Thale by road, on foot or on a chair lift. On the rocks is a mountain hotel with an observation terrace as well as the upper station for the chair lift.
Nearby is the Winzenburg, a refuge castle 25 hectares in area with a 500-metre-long rampart made of stone blocks and earth, which has been used since the New Stone Age as a refuge for up to 100 people. In 1860 the Winzenburg Tower was built there; an observation tower which is now closed.
From the Rosstrappe there is a view of the rocks on the Hexentanzplatz, the Steinerne Kirche , the Bode Gorge, the Harz Foreland, the town of Thale and the highest peak in the Harz, the Brocken.
