Imposing place, but now there are a lot of trees gone, some of the flair has been lost, nevertheless it is worth driving past there and stopping

Chimneys rising from the forest floor, a weathervane, gates made of large furnace forks and a huge cauldron surrounded by unfolded magic books in a small, surrounded by paths valley - Lili Fischer occupies the place known from ancient times as "witch place" with the relics of a supposedly sunken Hexendorfes. Her work bears witness to the myth of the witch and transports hikers into a world of fairy tales and magic. At the same time, however, he also draws attention to the real cruel persecution of people during the time of the witch trials: On the other side of the valley is the "interrogation", on which once supposed witches were sentenced to death.

The Hexenplatz belongs to the forest sculpture path
