A very historically significant place, both the caves and the well-preserved remains of the Roman villa rustica. Definitely worth a visit.

In winter this place looks very barren. It is best to visit the Hexenfelsen in spring/summer when it is in bloom and green. With the shadows of the trees it works very well.

Culture and nature are closely connected here. In the midst of a dense canopy of leaves, the gray witch's rock stands out and somehow wants to bring back to mind its tragic history, which was marked by fire. 34 women and 1 man, envied by the neighbors and citizens, perceived as different and slandered as witches, were burned alive on this striking rock, the municipal execution site of Nördlingen. That was between 1589 and 1598. (Source: https://blog.bayerisch-schwaben.de)
