    At the western edge of the lake is the 6.5 m high bronze statue "Jonas rises from the whale" standing in the water. The Düsseldorf sculptor Max Kratz made the work for the former forest pool, which existed from 1962 to 1991.

        The sculpture "Jonas emerges from the whale" used to be in the old Bocholt outdoor pool (near Walderholung - now Bahia). Jonas was also in the pool there and you could climb up and dive/swim through his tail fin. The sculpture was a gift from the company Flender Antriebstechnik from Bocholt. Today Jonas stands on the western bank of the Aasee.
