Artificial forest gardenThe artist group “Dünger”, founded in 2003 and consisting of the wood sculptor Stefan Preisl, the object artist Florian Zeitler, and the “Stuff” maker Andreas Hoffmann-Kuhnt, became known through the Bavarian “Art in the Forest” campaign run by the Bavarian Forestry Administration.
Together with the Burglengenfeld Forestry Office, a sculpture park was created in this area of forest called “Raffa”, which is known as the Kunstwaldgarten beyond the borders of the city triangle and which attracts great attention from its visitors.
You can see oversized wood and metal sculptures that blend bizarrely yet harmoniously into nature against the background of the forest.
In 2007 the group was strengthened by the wood sculptor Hannes Jawork.Source: information board

Beautiful forest with funny impressions. Beautifully designed works of art. For big and small.
