Image credit is listed at the end of this article.

The Luppbode is a right-hand tributary of the Bode in the Harz mountains in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It flows for about 10 km (6.2 mi) at a height of 485 m (0.301 mi).

01Course

The Luppbode rises south of Allrode and flows in a northerly direction. It continues as a lively, babbling brook, parallel to the L93 road. In spring, the Luppbode swells into a raging meltwater torrent in places. It is one of the few right-hand tributary streams that flow into the Bode in the area of the Bode Gorge. Its mouth is opposite the village of Treseburg.

02Fauna

A large number of threatened animal species live in the Luppbode, such as the brown trout and small shellfish.
