🎨 Sculpture Trail at Lake Ohmbach Discover seven works of art by Lilau along the accessible lakeside path – from sandstone frames to oak sculptures to limestone sculptures. Each work of art tells the story of home, water, and balance – perfect for a walk with a sense of art and nature. Tip: Take a break at the "Heimat" sculpture – position yourself so that the lake appears through the sandstone frame. In the evening light, the "Pierre de Soleil" stone sparkles particularly impressively.

🎨 Art by the Lake No. 2 – "Home" An imposing sandstone frame (2.5 x 2 m) – prominently placed along the lakeside path overlooking Lake Ohmbach. It invites you to consciously perceive the beauty of your homeland as if through a window. Tip: Position yourself so that the lake shines through the stone frame – ideal for photography or capturing an intimate moment. The light is particularly magical in the morning and evening.

🎨 Art by the Lake No. 3 – "Unwucht" An expressive sandstone sculpture (2.30 m) made of local Palatinate sandstone – symbolizing the delicate balance of life. Located directly on the lakeside path, it blends harmoniously between the forest and the water, inviting you to take a quiet artistic break. Tip: Start from the south shore and reach "Unwucht" halfway through the loop – ideal for an elegant photo stop or a meditative moment with a view of the lake.

☀️ Picnic area on the southern shore of Lake Ohmbach A quiet resting spot right on the water – two benches and a table in the shade, with a beautiful view of the lake. Ideal for a break on your circular hike. Tip: It's best to come in the morning or late afternoon – it's quiet, cool, and particularly atmospheric then.

💧 Glan River Loops – Natural Elegance in Gentle Movement The Glan River winds its way through the landscape between hills, fields, and meadows in wide curves – sometimes leisurely, sometimes lively, but always close to nature. The loops offer beautiful photo opportunities and peaceful moments right by the water. Ideal for nature lovers and anyone who appreciates tranquility. Tip: The most beautiful views are often from slightly elevated field paths – especially in morning mist or golden evening light.

🎨 Art by the Lake No. 4 – "Elements" by Pierre de Soleil This powerful sculpture on the shores of Lake Ohmbach is by the French artist Pierre de Soleil and is part of the "Art by the Lake" project. The elements intertwine in an abstract form – a symbol of balance, change, and the connection between nature and humanity. Tip: Take a moment and look at the sculpture from different angles – it unfolds its full effect especially in changing light.
