Trail Reviews
The small circuit around the Heiligenberg is very well known to us; We were not aware of the motto “vegetation” until now. It is exactly what makes this part of the world so fascinating. 🏞🕵🏼♀️ The text for this section of the X8 describes the process of change in the artworks, which is particularly evident in the 'Fractal Branch Spider', which was a different one a few years ago, but has now fallen into disrepair and been restored. The pure natural materials reveal the principle of transience, while life awakens around them and the blossoms unfold in all their glory. 🌼 So far we have never shown the 'vegetation' here in this way, although we have seen it in a wide variety of stages and it can be extended to a longer circuit, for example via the Kartause. Whether short or long, beautiful and always fascinating to look at! 🏰🌳
Circular path 1 leads along ArsNatura works of art once around the foot of the castle. A "one-way street" then takes you to the castle, which offers beautiful views near and far.
