Söll - Witches’ Water

Hexenwasser Söll is a place whose magic truly unfolds when you take the time to look closely. Its special spots and “wonder chambers” can be explored partly on your own and partly with the help of a staff member. You’ll receive a personal welcome at the Hexenzentrale Hexerei, at the bees in the Bienenhaus, in the water workshop “Blaues Wunder,” at the Eilight Museum on the Simonalm, and in the new Kunstwerker creative workshop by the campfire.

Numerous freely accessible stations invite visitors to marvel, explore, and understand.

The highlight is the summit of the Hohe Salve at 1,829 m, considered one of Tyrol’s most beautiful panoramic mountains, featuring a sundial trail and a new planet labyrinth.
