In Hagelstein you can find the below services. See Map Icons:

Hagelstein (also known as the Ghost Village) is unique in that it's the only town that requires a completed quest to gain access. Another unique feature is that before The Ghost Village quest is completed, the area is actually considered to be underground and after quest is completed it's above ground. So if the player is going after max Map Explored percentage, be sure to fully explore the entire area before AND after completing this quest!
The Ghost Soldiers of Hagelstein wear a long-forgotten emblem: a Dragon-like creature on a shield of Blue and Gold. Perhaps it is the coat-of-arms of the former barony. The Human Ghosts that haunt the Whisperwood around Hagelstein wear a similar emblem, although the colors are washed out and grey.

Notes
- For a village that's been isloated for over 500 years, the street performer in the village square is up on the Ancarian Top 10. He sings a rather interesting version of the song made famous by Blind Guardian.
