    Gravel riding

    The sculpture is located in the immediate vicinity of the famous Danube spring (near Fürstenberg Castle). This location was chosen deliberately: Since Donaueschingen is the official beginning of the Danube, the "child" symbolizes the young river, which begins its journey to the Black Sea here.
