history

In 1990 the Bergbahn Söll started with the mountain summer Hochsöll. The program was mainly based on tradition and addressed the elderly. Since the number of visitors stagnated at around 45,000 in summer, the construction of the Hexenwasser began in 2002. On June 16, 2002, the new adventure world with 30 play and wellness stations opened. At first it was called the “Magical World of Hochsöller Hexenwasser” and consisted of a 450 m long path from the spring jump at the Gasthof Hochsöll to the Stöcklalm. The area has been expanded every year since then. To date, the annual number of visitors has increased to almost 200,000.
