      These are basalt columns

        The sound stones are located in the Rheinelbe Park, which stretches from the Science Park to the Mechtenberg, an El Dorado for dogs and their owners.

          Unfortunately there was no wind, so the stones had no say 😂

              A work of art in public space. Nothing special if you don't know the artist's intention.

                There is a wonderful place in front of the bridge, lots of greenery, so nature!

                      Beautiful path through orchards on old mining grounds. A quiet place, recommended...
