the right-hand headstream of the River Bode in the High Harz mountains
of central Germany in the states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. It
is 23 km long and is formed from the confluence of the Große Bode and
Kleine Bode rivers.The names of the Warme and Kalte Bode (''Warm'' and
''Cold'' Bode) come from their actual temperature difference of about
2°.The Große Bode (''Great Bode'') is the left-hand headstream of the
Warme Bode and is about 4.5 km long. Its source is located at the foot
of the highest mountain in the Harz, the Brocken, in the southern part
of the so-called Brockenfeld on the border of Saxony-Anhalt. Immediately
nearby are the sources of the Kalte Bode, the Ecker and the Oder. The
Große Bode flows mainly southwards, on the western slopes of the
Wurmberg towards Braunlage. Its course is characterised by little
waterfalls and steps (Fallstufen) including the Obere Bodefall. In front
of Braunlage it is united with the Kleine Bode (''Little Bode'') to form
the Warme Bode.
