We have yet another fantastic place in store! It's the witchwater, Hexenwasser, in Hochsoell. This barefoot walking trail through entchanting waters leads you downhill and is meant to bring sensation and delight to its visitors. As the barefoot walkers follow the trail they'll pass several stations, where they learn about the methods of "witchcraft". For instance, they are shown how water learns to run uphill.
