The guard guards the path through a short, dark forest. The clay masks were made by children under the artist's guidance, whose ideas about ghosts become visible here.

Hiking

The "Guardian of the Forest" is an Ars Natura work of art at the height of the globe. The work of art is actually called "Forest Spirits" and is a combination of clay masks, organ pipes and the wooden sculpture - intended for musical communication with the spirits of the forest. The artwork is by Josip Cvetic (Melsungen).
