Let yourself be impressed by 33 mighty wooden sculptures, which were realized in the context of several wood sculptor symposia on the themes "Water & Wood", "Sitting Art" & "The 4 Elements".
Almost 30 internationally renowned artists realized their ideas and concepts on various themes at several wood sculpting symposia. A total of 60 impressive sculptures between 3 and 12.5 m high were created. 33 of these form the Art & Culture Adventure Trail. The starting point of the adventure trail is the Square of Elements, where 4 symposium trees are located. Along the trail, you will find wooden works of art with seating for resting and taking a break, as well as sculptures in the spirit of the 4 elements. There are eye-catchers at the entrances to the village (towards Weitra and towards Engelstein).
Start at the Place of the Elements - go towards Engelstein - turn back at the cemetery/village exit and now go towards Weitra to the village exit - turn back again and go back to the marketplace via the side path past the Schagginger department store - then head towards Harmannstein, towards Kreuzberg/Sonnenwelt/zodiac park - pass the BETZ/elementary school and turn right towards Pension Bruckner/zodiac park - once you reach the entrance to the zodiac park, head towards Sonnenwelt - then return towards the marketplace and the Place of the Elements.
