Wassende Maan Land Art in De Biesbosch

There is a labyrinth along the Bandijk, in the northern corner of the Biesbosch, in the Noordwaard. It is the landscape artwork Crescent Moon. The artwork is art and nature at the same time. Waxing Moon consists of channels and dikes. Due to the weather influences, seasons and the influence of the tide, the Waxing Moon always looks different.

What a loss that this beautiful work of art is so neglected. During my visit on October 4, 2024, I noticed that a large part of this impressive land art was overgrown. The atmosphere and symbolism of the work of art have been completely lost as a result. It seems that it has been poorly maintained for years. Staatsbosbeheer should be ashamed of this. I also noticed that there are signs everywhere, including with four poems, but there is no explanation to be found about the work of art itself. During my visit, there were sheep walking around, which made it difficult to view the work of art without stepping in sheep poop.
