Hexenberg (478 m)

The Hexenberg rises close above the village of Untermaßfeld near Meiningen, just a few times above, on the right bank of the Werra, and its peak had to serve as a fire court during the time of the witch fire.
As soon as you were across the Werra Bridge, you came across an old, ruined, steep relay, which is still called the witches' stairs.
Now a poor young man from Leutersdorf, named Hans Schau, was suspected of being witchcraft, had been drafted in, and was terribly tortured in the measure-to-measure department, maintained his innocence for a long time until the torture pressed him to make a confession, and Jena soon came to a verdict the highly wise and always infallible Schöppen chair that the Hans Schau should burn.
He was led out to the village, across the Werra bridge, up the witch stairs, up the witches' path.
Around the middle of the path, piles were hammered in to plant and fix trees on it, when the young man stopped at one of these piles and called out to the people: As surely as I am innocent, God the Lord will do a miracle , and give life to this skinny pile, and let it turn to the green tree.
They laughed at him, led him completely up to the summit and burned him.(Source: de.m.wikisource.org)
