Hiking

Culture and nature are closely connected here. In the midst of a dense canopy of leaves, the gray witch's rock stands out and somehow wants to bring back to mind its tragic history, which was marked by fire. 34 women and 1 man, envied by the neighbors and citizens, perceived as different and slandered as witches, were burned alive on this striking rock, the municipal execution site of Nördlingen. That was between 1589 and 1598. (Source: blog.bayerisch-schwaben.de)
