History
The original rugged valley was difficult to negotiate at the beginning of the 19th century. At the time torrential and uncontrolled Bode had a higher water level, one could only move up the valley through the water channel, as the paths had not been formed. Only with the development of the hotel and tourist trade were the first narrow walking trails created around 1818.
Boundary stones show us that the Bode river was formerly a boundary river. The right bank belonged to Prussia and the left side above the Bode - basin belonged to the Brunswick Duchy.
As early as 1937, the Bode Valley between Thale and Treseburg (475ha.) was declared a nature reserve. |
