How can I reach the massive tree in the south, near Bald Mountain

How can I reach the massive tree in the south, near Bald Mountain - Crop person with outstretched hand reaching to cascade of powerful waterfall flowing among rocks covered with moss in summer day in nature

So I am working my way around the south of the map clearing up the question marks in Velen. I've noticed the question mark which I pictured below, but having done a near full circle of the mountain, I cannot find a path up this mountain.

With the use of spoiler tags where necessary, how can I visit this location? I'm currently lv11, and am wondering if it's a story location I'll visit later.

Road to Bald Mountain



Best Answer

It is involved in the main questline late in the game. Any attempt to get to this location will involve you hitting invisible walls or the game telling you "You reached the limit of this area, turn back."

It is meant to be unavailable until then.

    I was even able to get there (lvl 9). The question mark is obelisk of power, but aside of that there is nothing. :( Some loot in the cave on the way back, but nothing "meant for higher lvl player". Took me tens of minutes to find a way up. It wasn't worth the time.
