    Hiking

    A unique sensory experience sculpture was installed in the Valley of the Butterflies: A walk-in insect eye. It is modeled on the compound eye of an insect.
    120 glass lenses make it possible to understand the perspective of an insect.
    The sculpture was created by the artist Andreas Rimkus.

    The eye of an insect consists of individual compound eyes. Dragonflies have about 7,000 facets, bees about 5,000. The information is transported via optic nerves to the insect's brain, where it is then put together to form an overall picture.
    In this project, visitors can immerse themselves in the body of the eye. The arrangement of the lenses makes it possible to see the surroundings and movements like an insect when looking through them.
