Bode (river)
The Bode is a river in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, a left tributary of the Saale.
It rises in the Harz mountains and drains them in a northerly direction. After it discharges into the Saale at Nienburg. The river is named after a legendary giant, the wild, rampaging, Bohemian, ''Prince Bodo'', who, according to the ''Rosstrappe'' legend changed into a marauding dog that guarded the crown of ''Princess Brunhilde'' in the ''Kronensumpf'' ("crown marsh") in the present-day Bode Gorge ((ドイツ語:Bodetal)). The gorge is the narrow section of the Bode valley between Treseburg and Thale.
== The ''Bodo'' legend ==
According to tradition, there was once a giant called ''Bodo'' who came from Thuringia to pursue ''Brunhilde'', the king's beautiful daughter, whom he wanted to marry against her will. ''Brunhilde'' fled on a white stallion (''Ross''), but they suddenly came to a deep ravine. With one bold leap she reached the rocks on the far side, but her pursuer fell into the abyss. The hoofprint of her horse can still be seen today as the so-called ''Rosstrappe''. Meanwhile, ''Bodo'' was turned into a dog. As her horse leapt the gorge, however, the princess lost her golden crown, which was now guarded by the dog ''Bodo'' in the valley of the river. The river was given the name ''Bode'' after the giant ''Bodo'' who was now under a spell.
