Witches' Water

Hexenwasser is a theme park at the middle station of the cable car in Söll, Tyrol. It sits in the Austrian Alps, surrounded by limestone peaks and alpine meadows. The main attraction is a water park with ponds and streams where children splash through water games. Nearby are alpine restaurants, playgrounds and a small zoo for young visitors. Themed trails wind through the landscape, including a witches’ trail that follows local legends. A panoramic trail offers views of the Tyrolean Alps, while a barefoot hiking trail challenges visitors with different textures underfoot. The park complements its play areas with working farms and workshops. A dairy shows how milk becomes cheese, a distillery turns fruit into schnapps, and an apiary lets guests meet the bees. These places give a glimpse of traditional Tyrolean life. The trails link the water park with mountain huts and viewpoints, so families can mix play with gentle hikes. At the top of the mountain stands a panorama restaurant, reached by a short walk from the middle station. Visitors find a lively mix of water, wildlife and mountain scenery. Children race between splash pools and playgrounds while parents relax at alpine restaurants. The barefoot trail winds through grass and stone, and the witches’ trail tells old mountain tales. From the panoramic trail, the limestone Alps rise above the valleys. At the dairy, fresh milk is still turned into cheese in the old way. The apiary hums with bees, and the distillery fills the air with the scent of ripening fruit.
