Rosstrappe takes its name from what is supposedly a horse’s hoof print, visible in stone on the cliff, left by the mythical Brunhilde when she sprang over the gorge on horseback to avoid marrying the giant Bodo. Considering that Bodo, who leapt after her, landed in a watery grave, horse and all, you’re probably better off taking the chairlift or one of the trails up here. Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds.
Signs direct you to the chairlift from the Thale Hauptbahnhof, near where the Presidentenweg hiking trail also begins.
