HEXENTANZPLATZ - WITCH'S DANCE SQUARE
This picturesque plateau, once a Saxon place of worship, celebrates an annual production of the legendary Witches' Night.
High above a deep Harz valley, Hexentanzplatz is a mythical place. This picturesque plateau, inaccessible by car, takes its name from the time when the Christian Franks subdued the pagan Saxons. After their defeat, the Saxons are said to have chased away Frankish soldiers disguised as witches and riding broomsticks! Every year, a staging of Walpurgis Night (witches' night in Germanic legends, April 30), described in Goethe's Faust, is celebrated here.
