Nestled in the scenic city of Bergen, the Heksestein, or "Witch Stone," is a historical marvel not to be missed. This striking landmark stands as a testament to Bergen's storied past, particularly the witch trials that darkened the 17th century. Located at Nordnes, the stone marks the spot where 350 women accused of witchcraft were executed by burning between 1550 and 1700. As you wander through Bergen, take a moment to reflect at the Heksestein and immerse yourself in the tales of courage and tragedy that have shaped this enchanting city.
