==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.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 12 Despite its secluded setting, upon close examination, the houses are well taken care of, evidencing that there are people occupying the village.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 13 Wolfsschlucht, peculiarly, seems to solely compose of female inhabitants, save Wolfram Gelzer, as noted by Ciel Phantomhive when he visits on an investigatory trip.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 87, page 15 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.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 88, page 5
The village is rumored to be full of witches that had escaped from the witch-hunt during the early modern period,Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 86, page 17 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.Kuroshitsuji chapter; Chapter 88, page 11
