    An ARS Natura artwork by Eugen Mahler
    The artist fixed the shells of mussels on a wooden panel with a diameter of 150 cm. The moon's sunlit side is represented by the light and pearlescent interior of the clam shells, the shadow of the earth by their blue-black exterior. The moon, hovering high between trees, enchants its surroundings.

    From Waldkappel to the Alpstein, an Ars Natura art trail was created on the section of the Barbarossaweg X8 under the motto "Enchanted Forests - Fairy Tales of Mother Hulda". The "rising shell moon" is one of the works of art.

    The artist Eugen Mahler from Morschen designed the shell moon under the motto 'Magic Forests'.
    The artist attached tons of mussel shells with nails to a wooden plate with a diameter of 15 cm.
    The sunlit side of the moon is represented here by the shiny, mother-of-pearl interior of the mussel shells.
    The moon floats high between the trees and is said to cast a spell on its surroundings.
