You practically run right into the teeth of this wooden sculpture at a crossroads. ☺️ Here children will definitely have fun conquering the back of the crocodile - and parents (or dog owners 😉) will have a nice photo opportunity.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find out who placed the sculpture there during my internet research. Maybe another Komooti can contribute this information.

Along the Skulpturenpfad in Kelmis (La Calamine), you'll unexpectedly encounter a remarkable sight: a wooden crocodile sculpture, artfully carved from solid wood with a chainsaw. This playful yet impressive creation is one of many works of art that enrich the trail and add an extra dimension to nature.

The sculpture is nestled in the greenery and seems to have almost grown from the earth itself. The wood, weathered by sun and rain, blends perfectly with the natural surroundings, while the crocodile's shape creates a surprising contrast.

A touch of tropical fantasy in the tranquil wooded landscape of the Voer region and the East Cantons.

The Skulpturenpfad Kelmis was created to bring art and nature together. Nestled among the forests, meadows, and former mining sites, sculptures invite wonder, contemplation, or simply a smile. The wooden crocodile is a true eye-catcher: a moment of playful craftsmanship and experiencing nature along the way.
