Hiking

The Expo Whale (also known as Expowal) is a striking structure and the official symbol of the World Expo 2000 in Hanover. Originally built as the "Pavilion of Hope" by the CVJM, World Vision Germany, and the German Evangelical Alliance, it was chosen as the symbol of the Expo by readers of BUNTE magazine and ZDF viewers via a TED vote.
