The legends of witches in Hochsöll

Way back in the days of old, the area around the Hohe Salve was regarded as “witch country”. The women living there possessed skills in healing and magic and were both revered and feared at the same time.

Today they have lost none of their fascination, and the spooky tales of the witches and magicians of Hochsöll continue to be retold. What could be a more natural way of restoring vitality than with these primeval, magical places? Those who explore the Hochsöll mountain landscape with their sensory perception level set to high will almost certainly detect, even today, the special magic that has pervaded “witch country” for generations...
Nature lovers of all ages will be fascinated by the mystical “Hexenwasser”, which revolves around the theme of “water” in a careful and nature-friendly way.

The “Hexenwasser” theme park in Hochsöll (1,150 m) offers more than 30 points of interests along a 450m long path from the cable railway to the Stöcklalm inn. Among the features are Kneipp pools as well as a water path, a bare-foot track, water maze and also an old grain mill.
