    The "Windwiege" dates from 2000. The sculptor Birgit Kratzheller created this huge wooden cradle. You can use them by getting in, “getting ready” and letting yourself be rocked by the wind.

      The wind cradle is a beautiful object. If it has been dry for a longer period of time, it is most suitable for walking (laying 😅). Otherwise the wood will leave its mark.

        A very beautiful work of art made of wood. There is a hole in the middle, through which you can climb into the wind cradle from below. It can also be rocked a bit. Interesting not only for children.
