In the enchanted Blindtal, a truly adventurous spot between Naters and Blatten, lives Vero, the little Belalp witch, together with her friends and the forest creatures. Here, a themed trail awaits the whole family, where magical tasks must be completed in order to discover the magic spell.
The adventure for young and old begins in Blatten near Naters, and the first step is to find the initial clue through a telescope. The trail then leads down into Blindtal, offering a variety of challenges along the way. But there's also time to relax in Blindtal: how about cooling your feet in the Bruchji stream? And of course, no one has to go hungry in Blindtal — enjoy a picnic or barbecue at one of the available grill areas.
You can get the documents for Vero's Hexenweg at the tourist office in Blatten or here.

Safety guidelines
Despite the "impossible to miss" marking of the hiking trails, we recommend for safety reasons to always have an appropriate hiking map with you, so that you can quickly find a safe area in case of a thunderstorm or emergency, for example.
Especially in autumn, you should also be aware that leaves lying on the ground can hide bumps, roots, stones or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still fall over or branches can fall down. Especially in adverse weather conditions, muddy and slippery passages can occur on natural paths. You have to expect this kind of path obstruction when you go on a hike.
Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. In some cases surefootedness is required. If you think that certain sections of the trail are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
