The Hexentanzplatz Wildlife Park illustrates the variety of the many different species of animal in the Harz region. While there are relatively unspoiled forests nearby with plenty of hiking trails, the immediate area of the Hexentanzplatz has been fairly well commercialized. Today, the Hexentanzplatz resembles a small theme park aimed at families, including a car park (charge: 5 euros), gondola lift and mini-coaster rides, small gift and craft shops and a zoo. A sacrifice stone ( Opferstein) is also exhibited there, which recalls ancient fertility rites.Ī gondola lift runs from Thale up to the Hexentanzplatz. In the Walpurgishalle Museum, built by painter Hermann Hendrich, the legends of the surrounding Harz mountains and scenes from Goethe's Faust are brought to life. On the plateau is the Thale Mountain Theatre ( Bergtheater Thale) one of the oldest open-air theatres in Germany with 1,350 seats, which was founded in 1903 by Ernst Wachler. Since the middle of the 19th century there has been a mountain hotel of the same name on the Hexentanzplatz.
