Editorial
Hotel overview
Set beside the gently flowing Bode river, this simple yet welcoming lodge blends comfort with nature. Surrounded by woodlands and the picturesque Oberharz am Brocken region, it offers a peaceful stay for travelers seeking outdoor escapes and quiet relaxation. The rooms are basic but modern, featuring clean lines and thoughtful touches that create a cozy ambiance. Large windows frame calming river views, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.
Guests enjoy access to a small sauna, perfect after a day of hiking or exploring the nearby limestone caves and historic castle. Dining takes place at Bodetaler Wirtshaus, the onsite restaurant praised for locally inspired dishes and a relaxed vibe. Families and travelers with pets will find welcome accommodations, while an airport shuttle service adds convenience for arrivals and departures. Although lacking a pool or fitness center, the lodge compensates with its natural setting and warm hospitality.
The location offers easy access to Hermann’s Cave, Rappbode Dam, and other local attractions, making it a good base for discovering the Harz region’s outdoor treasures. Quiet evenings on the terrace listening to the river, followed by traditional meals and a cozy sauna, define the stay here.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This hotel is an absolute delight. The staff is so welcoming, the rooms are very comfortable, the restaurant is very tasty, and the spa is outstanding. We were there over new years and it was picturesque with the snow. We will definitely be back!”
“Wonderful host, great breakfast and dinner opportunities. Rooms were tidy and very modern. Would recommend for a quiet vacation, with lots of activities to have the flexibility of doing something active!”
“Great place, I came here while hiking the trail in the morning for breakfast, which was totally worth the price, owners were really kind and nice.”
“Very nice stay, clean rooms, friendly staff and beautiful area for outside activities.”
“This hotel is excellent! Great food, stunning location, very modern and comfortable inside while it still has all its charm on the outside. Very good wifi. Stunning location. Very friendly staff. If you’re doing the heksenstieg hike I highly recommend picking this hotel as your resting place”
“Awesome hotel with great service and relaxing location! Wish we could have stayed two nights. They have a ‘maxi bar’ near the reception area that’s open 24/7 to take drinks (beer, soda, water). Just write down your room number and you’re set. Food was good in the restaurant, just don’t forget to make a reservation since they will get busy with a limited staff.”
“The Location is fantastic. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The staff was super friendly (to us and our dog). The food was really really good. We had the vegetarian/vegan options ans they were very good. The flair of the entire Hotel is very relaxed, modern and cozy. The sound of the river, right behind the balcony, is wonderful.”
