A great idea: Spruce trees infested by the bark beetle become art here! The International Art Academy Heimbach is currently creating a "Forest Studio" in the Heimbachtal. The hands-on project will continue to grow in the coming months. With luck, the processed spruce trunks will beautify the forest as exhibits for more than 12 years. It will be exciting to observe how the individual works will change and develop under the influence of the seasons.
