Rappbode Dam and Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Walking the bridge is really great. Due to the corona, this is currently only possible in one direction, on the dam wall next door you can then go back and see the imposing bridge from the side.

The 106 meter high Rappbodetalsperre is located directly at the entrance to the Bodetal and has been protecting the villages in the valley from flooding for over 50 years.
The Rappbodetalsperre is 415 meters long and with a height of 106 meters it is also the largest dam in Germany. It is able to hold a water surface of 390 hectares and more than 109 million cubic meters of water.
The Rappbodetalsperre forms the core of a large-scale dam system in the Eastern Harz, which consists of the Rappbode and Hassel pre-dams, the transfer dam at Königshütte, the Kalte Bode flood protection basin (almond wood reservoir) near Königshütte, as well as the dam and the Wendefurth pumped storage plant.

View of the Rappbode Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the dam you have a wonderful panoramic view. But on weekends it's very crowded here when the weather is nice. No place where you can enjoy the peace!

View of Rappbode Dam and Titan RT Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view of the dam and the suspension bridge. Here you can enjoy leisure activities from hiking 🥾 to getting an adrenaline rush by "rope riding" and crossing the suspension bridge, depending on your mood or courage!

This tower is above the dam at the starting point for leisure activities with a suspension bridge and rope rides into the valley. Beautiful overview of the lake and valley.
A visit is recommended!
