The Luppbode is a right-hand tributary of the River Bode in the Harz mountains in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.
Course
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.
Fauna
A large number of threatened animal species live in the Luppbode, such as the brown trout and small shellfish.
