Kaer Morhen valley is an abandoned area in the mountains of northeastern Kaedwen, where the prehistoric sea was located many millennia ago. Currently, the only known "inhabited" structure in the valley is the limestone keep of Kaer Morhen, the seat of witchers from the School of the Wolf.

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The valley of Kaer Morhen is a major region in The Witcher 3:. The geography of the area, while more fully fleshed-out, is faithful to the original game, including the interior of the keep, which has preserved the same floorpan.

In The Witcher computer game

Kaer Morhen valley is the area immediately adjacent to and surrounding the fortress of Kaer Morhen. It is here that the campsite of the unexpected visitors to Kaer Morhen is situated in "The Price of Neutrality". The valley itself is divided by a fast flowing river which can only be crossed at either of the two fords. The area is also infested with archespores, wolves, Basilisks, giant centipedes and wyverns.

The area also boasts:

• two circles of elements (one for Aard and one for Igni)
• three places of power
• an old mine
  • The entrance near Kaer Morhen fortress leads to the kikimore hatchery. It is where Eskel is first found.
  • The more southerly entrance leads to a basilisk den.

Herbs

• Balisse, (spelled Balissa)
• Bryonia
• Celandine
• Ginatia
• Wolf's aloe, actually growing wild, as well as in pots

One can also "see" Beggartick outside, but it can not be picked. There is some that is "pickable" inside Sabrina's tent, but Geralt does not have the journal entry, so trying to pick it is useless.

There are also Berbercane trees here and there, but those, like the beggarticks, are just landscaping, too.
