View from Bülowshöhe to Thale

The Bülowshöhe is a cliff in the Harz near Thale in Saxony-Anhalt .

The Harz cliff is located on the Presidential Path leading from the Berghotel Rosstrappe into the valley to Thale, just below the Rosstrappenhotel. A staircase secured with handrails leads from the presidential path to the cliff pulpit. The cliff is designed as a lookout point. In addition to being secured with railings, there is a bench and a weather vane . The weather vane bears the Thales coat of arms and the inscription Thale 1993 . From the Bülowshöhe there is a good view of the Bodetal and the city of Thale.

The name Bülowshöhe goes back to the Thaler Oberforstmeister von Bülow, who made the area accessible to hikers in the years 1815 to 1818 by creating hiking trails along the Bode and to the Rosstrappe . The use of the name Bülowshöhe is documented as early as the 1820s.
