    Hiking

    The natural monument Hexentor is an almost circular rock gate and is considered a Celtic place of power. Not so long ago, the witches probably performed their dances on the Hexenboden directly in front of the Hexentor. The Hexentor is ideal as a photo motif.

    Hiking

    The Hexenboden, a bizarre sponge limestone backdrop with the natural monument Hexentor, is located near the village of Kröttenhof and is signposted from there. The Hexentor is a circular rock breakthrough several meters high, which is considered a power gate.

    Hiking

    A real adventure playground, the holes in the rock offer excellent motifs.
    I was lucky enough to meet a Harz witch there 😉
