    At this point, witches were executed in the Middle Ages. A billboard and a memorial stone inform about it. You can take a break here in a hut.

      This place (also Hexentanzplatz "On Wolfsgraben") was a court in the Middle Ages on which death sentences were carried out. Here were u. a. Witches hanged and burned. The memorial stone erected in 2008 is intended to commemorate the victims of the witch hunt. He shows a pyre, a gallows and a cross. The execution site was a "court-nocturnal witch-dance court," with the result that people who frequented it were considered "said" (ie, denounced as a witch) and charged with witchcraft. The information board next to the memorial stone refers to the Ahrbrücker Else Simons, who was condemned at this point as a supposed witch and executed.
