    Legend has it that the oldest and most authoritative witch liked to sit on the Bullaccia bench, to be able to see and admire the view.

      Witches' Benches near the Puflatschspitze are natural rock formations that resemble seats. Their name comes from ancient legends that suggested witches' gatherings took place in such remote locations. Today, they are interesting natural monuments with a mystical flair and offer beautiful views.
