Thale

Honestly, by this time, we were really tired. We decided to catch the bus back to Treseburg, where we left our car at the beginning of the hike. We had planned to ride the cable car up to the Hexentantzplatz, visit the touristy things up there, then hike back along the ridge.

In the end, we decided against it. Thale has very much gone all in on the witch/devil motif, which isn't really my thing. We wandered around the town a little. The part we were in, besides right by the cable car where they had minigolf and some amusement rides, was practically dead. Hardly any people, nothing really opened. Even that entertainment center wasn't that crowded.

We looked around for a cafe, didn't find anything. Instead, we visited the two churches nearby. The Catholic church you could only look into (though it looked scary and haunted from the outside). The Protestant church was small, but open. Finally caught our bus, made it back to Treseburg.

We went to look for the war memorial, and found it, including the grave of the nine HJ Volksstrum killed at the end of the war.Les mer
