    »element column«



    If you look closer and walk around the sculpture, you will discover animals - a badger for the element earth, a flounder for the element water, and finally a tern for the element air. The burn marks, which deliberately emphasize shapes, are the symbol for the fourth element, fire. This column dedicated to animals was deliberately placed here in the gorge, which is a species-rich habitat.
