Description

The “Hexenroute” or “Witches’ Route” owes its name to the Witches’ Trail in Bromberg. There, 7 panels tell of the burning of witches and the fate of the herbalist Afra Schickh. Regional products are for sale at the “Alles Schwarz” gourmet shop in Bromberg. For all you beer fans out there, there is the private brewery Wolfsbräu in Thernberg. Bucklige Welt beer is produced and sold here. For those interested in history, there is also much to be discovered about Archduke Johann in Thernberg.

Directions
Start of the route in Bromberg. Follow the road to the right in the direction of Schlatten. Continue through the Schlattental valley, past the Schlattentalhof inn, and on to Oberschlatten.
