You drive through the forest and suddenly come across a so-called "nodding horse"! The pump is still running, the oil has apparently not dried up yet. In the vicinity, a bank offers space for a break and thoughts as to whether and how long human beings will still need this fossil fuel ;-) A large information board will definitely satisfy the thirst for knowledge!
