March 2021: New attraction in the Waldbrunn holiday village
The imposing sundial tower made of stainless steel and glass has dials aligned to the four cardinal points. When the sun is shining, two of the sundials usually show the time.
The shadow thrower on the south side is aligned parallel to the roof and is therefore also called the pole rod. Due to the rotation of the earth, the sun "apparently" wanders around the pole and its shadow shows the true local time (WOZ) of Waldbrunn on the hour lines, regardless of the seasonally variable position of the sun.
