The legends and fairy tales from the Schwarzsee-Senseland have fascinated generations. On Witch path Schwarzsee, families can experience seven mysterious fairy tales in an interactive way – from the black cow and the Muggi to the mythical dragon.

What truths might lie behind these stories? Find out! The legends are briefly summarised on information boards and invite you to guess. Various experience stations provide even more fun and variety. But watch out for the dragon! It can indeed be brought to life. Then it hisses and growls terribly…

Path description:
The Witch path circles around Lake Schwarzsee with a detour to the waterfall. From the starting point and end of the path at the Gypsera restaurant, information boards lead along the shore. The circuit can be walked in both directions. The path is mostly flat with a few gentle inclines.

Get the Witch’s kit!
With the accompanying Witch’s kit, you can explore the Witch path thoroughly. The Witch’s kit includes some treats for your energy, a ride on the toboggan run, a voucher for an ice cream or a drink, the necessary tools to discover the magic word, and other surprises. The Witch’s kit can be purchased at the tourism office during opening hours. Outside of opening hours, you will be served by the Side Cut sports shop or the Hostellerie am Schwarzsee hotel.

The proceeds from the Witch’s kit are earmarked and serve to maintain and improve the infrastructure of the Witch path.
