altitude. \u00a0 \u00a0 It might not look all that old, but a church has stood here since the 1500&#8217;s. \u00a0 It&#8217;s just been rebuilt a few times thanks to lightening strikes &#8211; I am

hideous looking, she&#8217;s friendly, and she doesn&#8217;t even mind if you stand on her head to get your picture taken. \u00a0 \u00a0She was to be our first witch encounter of the day, as we were en route to meet countless others at the very top of the mountain, at the quite brilliant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hexenwasser.at\/en\/home-hexenwasser-hochsoell\/\">Hexenwasser<\/a>. \u00a0 Based on the folklore that snow in the mountains was caused by witches shaking out their feather beds, this park (and it&#8217;s definitely not a theme park, more of a nature exploration park) is a brilliant way to spend a day out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/witches-hexnwasser-soll-austria\/1-img_6080\/\" rel=\"attachment

mind posing for photographs if you ask nicely) is just lovely. \u00a0 They wear them so that their owners know where to find them when it&#8217;s time to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/the-viehscheid\/\">come down from the mountains around this time of the year<\/a>. \u00a0This sound is proof that the cows wear them for a reason and

\u00a0 Why? \u00a0 Because there are barefoot paths a plenty to squelch through, magical lakes to paddle in and giant hedgehog trees to navigate your way through, all of which are best done with no shoes on I find. \u00a0 \u00a0 There are also huge magic bowls you can cast a few spells on to see if you can make them sing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
