Hexenwasser Söll

A witch-themed water adventure world on Hochsöll

Hexenwasser is a water-themed adventure world on Hochsöll, above Söll in the Wilder Kaiser area, at roughly 1,150 to 1,350 metres. You reach it by the gondola from Söll. Along the walking route are water play areas and small surprises for children.

Highlights include the House of the Bee Queen, humming stones, the Hexenbach with a witches’ washing place and stone mill, and the Simonalm, a farmhouse some four hundred years old where everything revolves around eggs. The route also includes Austria’s longest barefoot trail with more than sixty stations. At the Stöcklalm you can stop for a bite or a drink.
