The little witch's house stands beautifully crooked by the path and is perfect for a rest. Don't worry, no witch will lure you into the cottage. However, you'll find some information on an information board. Right next to the house is a giant witch's broom, which also doubles as a bench. Perhaps you have the right spell to make the broom fly?

One of the many witch's houses in the area with a particularly large witch's broom that was covered in snow today.

Pretty little witch's cottage with seating, inside and out. Attached is an information board about the legend of the "deceived witch".

There is now a large table in the house, enough space for eating. There is only one bench outside, otherwise you can still sit on the witch's broom. In summer this is a bit small, especially since the house is located on two designated hiking trails (Felsenweg, Kappelrodecker Hexensteig).
