As a witch dance place in the time of the witch hunts in Europe many places were designated, at which the accused of the witch trials allegedly met for secret meetings. Occasion should have been for example the witches Sabbath in the Walpurgisnacht. It was believed that magicians or witches had gathered there with the devil on the so-called mountains or parcels.

The judges requested in the witch trials of the defendants the exact list of the visited devil punching places (ie an exact place of participation in the Witches' Sabbath) and a denunciation (denunciation) of the names of other participants of the meetings. These denounced people were then arrested and charged, and there were the so-called chain processes with many executions.

Annweiler Forest Gallery

Highlight • Rest Area

Welcome to the Annweiler Forest Gallery

Since autumn 2020, the forest gallery has been housed in the old concert shell in the city of Annweiler.

Built in 1933 as part of the renewal of the adjacent park in the town of Annweiler am Trifels, the shell-shaped building remained unused for a long time.

In 2018, the historic walls were restored by the Palatinate Forest Association and Zukunft Annweiler e.V. with the help of many volunteer members.

Contemporary art exhibitions and installations on the subject of "change in nature" are presented to visitors every year in a modern open-air setting.
