Hexenwasser Söll
Marvel – Grasp – Understand
The BergErlebnisWelt Hexenwasser in Söll, Tyrol, has been delighting children and adults alike for twenty years with gentle natural spectacles. Visitors can explore the stations, paths and chambers of wonders partly on their own and partly with a guide. On Austria’s longest barefoot trail, the route takes you across grass, bark mulch, massaging stones and babbling water to numerous stations where all your senses are stimulated anew. Throughout the entire site, at the foot of the Hohe Salve, there is something to discover everywhere, and free witch-themed programmes, activities and demonstrations are regularly on offer.
To gain an even deeper insight into the ancient legends, customs and wisdom of the ladies in pointed hats, exclusive HeXpeditions await you in Hexenwasser. The witches take time for their guests – ‘time with the witch’ – and let them lend a hand, potter about and sample treats at the supervised Hexenwasser stations.

Important information
You can reach the Hexenwasser quickly and easily via the Hochsöll adventure gondola lift. The ascent – known as the “ride on the witch’s broom” – in the 10-seater gondola lift is suitable for pushchairs and also accessible to wheelchair users.
The witches send us raindrops to get us moving and active. As we all know, this brings good fortune. With weatherproof clothing, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable day at Hexenwasser. Visit the AmViehTheater and enjoy a unique barn experience. Get to know the cows and learn everything you need to know about these grazing animals. By visiting, you’ll be fostering the important bond between cows and people.
If you’d rather stay indoors, we recommend the indoor facility at the Blauen Wunders, which playfully explores the secrets and mysteries of water. Experiment with the “source of life” and discover the unique qualities of our elixir of life. Alternatively, you can get a taste of everyday life on an alpine dairy by visiting the 400-year-old Simonalm. There, amongst other things, you can experience old kitchen traditions by making your own butter, grinding grain and turning it into bread dough. At the Hexerei, you’ll discover the crafts and domestic culture of past generations. Together with the witches, you can craft, cook, sew and work your magic in the old parlours of the farmhouse.
If you’re looking to head for the heights, take the gondola lift Hohe Salve to the summit of the Hohe Salve and visit Austria’s highest pilgrimage church, the Salvenkirchlein. At 1,829 metres, enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and over 70 peaks over 3,000 metres.
Time and again, the dogs are bewitched by the witches, and you might then come home with a guinea pig or a fish. This won’t happen if you keep your dog on a lead and always keep a close eye on him. Please ensure you do not let your dogs go into the water and that you clear away any dog fouling. Hexenwasser Söll has dedicated dog bathing areas.
If you’d like to visit the Hexenwasser as a group or school class, please contact Bergbahn Söll in advance to book your visit.
