    Hiking

    A gust of wind in 2001 caused the already dead oak trunk to fall to the ground. The artist Halvor Machmor breathed new life into the tree. This work of art now stands at a rest area and tells of its life and the residents who have found a new home in the dead wood of the tree. The name “deadwood” is deceptive because there is an abundance of life to discover here: beetles, worms, fungi and bacteria feel right at home here.

    “An oak trunk that had been dead for 20 years and fell in the autumn of 2001 due to a gust of wind set off on its journey. By being cut in half, it was given legs. It is making itself comfortable in its current resting place and is telling stories about itself and its inhabitants.”
