Wolfsschlucht (
Overview[]
Wolfsschlucht is a very isolated village, hidden amid a thicket of trees in the depths of the Werewolves' Forest, making it rather difficult to catch sight of. Due to its obscurity, outsiders and non-local residents are often unaware of the existence of such a place.[2] Despite its secluded setting, upon close examination, the houses are well taken care of, evidencing that there are people occupying the village.[3] Wolfsschlucht, peculiarly, seems to solely compose of female inhabitants, save Wolfram Gelzer, as noted by Ciel Phantomhive when he visits on an investigatory trip.[4] The denizens of the village maintain a hostile attitude toward any stranger that happens to trespass into the village, and it is made clear that unfamiliar visitors cannot stay overnight.[5]
The village is rumored to be full of witches that had escaped from the witch-hunt during the early modern period,[6] and is protected a large, lone werewolf. Perhaps as a testament to the witch concept, several replicas of the torture instruments used during that period can be found in the plaza of Wolfsschlucht.[7]
