At the Hexenplatz, idyllically situated in the Kranzbruchvenn, five paths converge. This crossroads was considered eerie in the Middle Ages; people avoided it in the dark and told gruesome stories: At the "Hexenplatz," witches gathered along the old paths from the surrounding villages and held their meetings.
