    The Hessental lies in a gentle hollow on the slopes between Eichstätt and Landershofen: Alois Wünsche-Mitterecker, a sculptor from Eichstätt, created a captivating memorial against war and violence here.

    78 larger than life sculptures crouch, rear up and crawl on the artist's figure field - a strange contrast to the barren Jura landscape of the Hessental.

    Accessible at any time of the year. Great in the landscape. The approximately 78 figures by the Eichstatt sculptor Alois Wünsche-Mitterecker are absolutely worth seeing.
