The idyllic Hexenteich pond in Menden is a real insider tip for anyone who wants to experience nature and art. Nestled in the lush Sauerland landscape, the pond offers a wonderful starting point for long walks through the surrounding forests. With a little patience, you can even spot turtles sunbathing here.
The impressive tree sculptures surrounding the witches' pond are a particular highlight. At first glance, they are reminiscent of mystical totem poles, but they are actually the work of Serbian artist Mile Prerad. These artistic carvings give the place a unique and fascinating atmosphere, and
in the past, rumors circulated that the witches' pond served as a gruesome place where supposed witches met their deaths during the dark times of witch-hunts. Fortunately, however, such stories remain in the realm of legend, lending the pond an aura of mystery.
fitness enthusiasts can visit the Trimmdich trail starting directly from the parking lot. A run around the pond not only gets your pulse racing, but also rewards you with wonderful views of the harmonious natural scenery
.The "Witches' Pond and Sculpture Park" is not only a place to relax, but also a source of creative inspiration. There are parking spaces available so that nothing stands in the way of a spontaneous excursion.
