    The wind cradle and the tree house are parts of the art trail, created by the cultural asset Holzhausen. Other existing stations are the wind harp, the parquet island and the tree ring. Others like the Water Diary and the avenue with instruments have already disappeared.

      Treehouse of Nicholas of the Borch. Hanging on ropes 10 meters high, free-floating, this tree house is built around the tree. A fly-pull construction makes it possible to climb up and down the 1,400 kg tree house with muscle power without damaging the tree.
      Material: wood, iron, plastic ropes, size: about 4 meters in diameter.

      Nicholas von der Borch, born 1967 in Australia, lives and works in Fontainebleau, France.

      Wind Cradle:
      The mighty wooden structure is hung on trees with ropes and weighs with them in the wind. A small entrance allows the visitor to enter the cradle and take a seat on the area.
