Witch’s Water Hochsöll

The area around Mt. Hohe Salve used to be regarded as a witch's country: The magical and healing women who lived here were feared and revered by the population at the same time. They wore jewellery made of polished stream stones, which were made to shine by the witches in a stone mill after grinding. Today, the place at the middle station of the Hohe Salve is dedicated to children and families at the Witch's Water Hochsöll (Hexenwasser Hochsöll, in German).

Discoverers, dreamers and curious people enter a world of experience with small and large wonders. Stations, paths and chambers of wonders can be discovered at the Witch's Water Hochsöll, partly on your own, partly under guidance, because at the HeXpeditions the witches themselves help you with the work and tasting and show you all kinds of interesting things.

Afterwards, you can walk barefoot along the 2 km long - Austria's longest - barefoot path, where your feet are massaged - the ground is made up of stream pebbles, large stones, water and meadows. At the end, the feet are brought back to shape at the witches' washing place. And all around rise the majestic giants of 70 three-thousand-metre peaks. Have fun!
