If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Situated 17 miles away, Thale is worth jumping in the car for. Harzer Bergtheater ought to be high up on your list here. Rappbodetalsperre and Bode Gorge are terrific attractions too. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Quedlinburg, 19 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Quedlinburg Castle. (But we’d also highly recommend Quedlinburg Cathedral and St Nikolai Church.)
