A beautiful sculpture trail, but wind and weather, rain and snow, cold and heat, the forest's inhabitants leave their mark on the sculptures, so that some have already suffered significant weather damage. Growing vegetation in the forest also often makes it impossible to get close to the sculptures. Surely, the artists will have to create new sculptures in the coming years to breathe new life into the trail.
