This megalithic work of art was created in 2000 by Rob Schreefel. It consists of a boulder of 25 tons (from Brittany) with a round hole in the middle that gives a special light effect.

In the middle of Boswachterij Odoorn there is an open heathland that was created after a heavy storm in 1972. It was then decided not to create a new forest, but to fence it off and allow sheep to graze there to keep it short. On this sheep field, at the edge of the forest, is the landscape temple 'Ode to the Sun'. This megalithic work of art was created in 2000 by Rob Schreefel. It consists of a 25-ton boulder (from Brittany) with a round hole in the middle that gives a special light effect.
