Nimis is a work of art near Arild am Kullaberg.
Nimis, the temporarily very controversial work by the artist Lars Vilks, is hidden on the north side of the Kullaberg near Arild, about 12 kilometers north of Höganäs.
Nimis (abundance) is a labyrinth of various towers, mostly made of driftwood, at the foot of the cliffs. In the meantime, the constructions have reached a total weight of 75 tons.

The facility, which was started by Lars Vilks in 1980, was the subject of a yearlong legal battle between the local building authority and the artist. The authorities quickly declared the work of art a building for which no building permit had been granted in the nature reserve. In the course of the dispute, Vilks proclaimed the area around Nimis in 1996 in protest of the Micronation of Ladonia. However, the authorities finally did not implement the approval of the demolition of the plant, which was ultimately obtained by court.

Nimis has now become a tourist attraction and can only be reached on foot via a small, marked path from Heimathof Himmelstorp. The path leads through relatively steep and rough terrain, so sturdy shoes and good physical condition are required.

Driftwood sculpture designs by artist Lars Vilks and part of the Micronation Ladonien. It consists of a series of labyrinthine towers and corridors. The artwork is not easy to find as it is not signposted or recorded in maps for obvious reasons. The best way to find Nimis, and therefore Ladonia, is to start at Himmelstorp, a well-preserved 18th-century homestead, and follow a path marked with yellow "N" s, which starts easily but becomes increasingly impassable.

The whole area at Kullaberg with its highlights (Nimis, Arx, Ladonia, Grotto of Silver, Josefinelust etc.) is an insider tip and is without much advertising a very well visited and challenging hiking area, which one does not find in this kind in Germany. Many routes to the attractions are very difficult and without security. Sure-footedness, no fear of heights and good footwear as well as dry weather is mandatory. All tours are demanding and at your own risk. Not suitable for children under 6 years, not even with Kraxe. Depending on the destination you should inform yourself about the possibilities of parking. For example, we visited Nimis and visited the parking lot at Himmelstorpsgården. Without preparation of the individual tours, it is always interesting to gamble.

Not entirely safe tour - many stones and roots, in the artwork itself loose wooden slats and protruding nails - but if you are careful and watch out for the weather - I would not risk it in slippery or wet conditions - you will experience a special place.

A very popular hiking destination, many hikers try to go straight down through the wooden structure at the top. But it is easier to go down the rocks right next to it.

An adventure castle made of 75 tons of driftwood. I have rarely seen such an unusual work of art. My "expedition" to this wondrous place you can see in this video:

In wet weather there is an increased risk of slipping. Sturdy shoes are very advisable.

Exciting work of art but you should definitely be free from vertigo - which I am unfortunately not. Down the hill was not that difficult but when I came to the first staircase made of driftwood it was over for me but also very impressive from there!
