    The place was considered pagan, since there was an unknown grave. So one told oneself that there spirits would go around and witches would do their mischief. This witch belief was rooted deep in the hearts of the inhabitants of the surrounding places. On Walpurgis Night, the night of May 1, the witches revealed their spell power. They ride on brooms or goats to the big witches' Sabbath, which is held in this place. They dance on the witch ball and hold their solemn meetings with the devil.

    As the name suggests ... a witch relief carved into a monolith

    Ritterstein 268 Hexenstein can be easily reached via Wachenheim, where a fun event for the Witches' Night also takes place once a year
