Hiking

In the heart of the pine forest stands this unique resting place, shaped like a butterfly. The wooden trunk forms its body, while the large metal wings invite you to rest for a moment. A playful encounter between nature and art along the Kattenbosserheide path. 🦋🌲

Hiking

In the heart of the pine forest, a giant metal butterfly suddenly appears. Its graceful wings spread above the path, while a swing hangs beneath its body. The artwork invites walkers to pause for a moment—or gently swing—among the trees of Kattenbos. A playful combination of nature, art, and movement in the heart of the forest. 🦋🌲

Hiking

A butterfly watches over the path here,
with wings of steel in the silent forest bath.
Whoever swings beneath its flight
feels freedom floating in the soft air.
