The Murscher steel donkey - another community project

A 3m high steel donkey connected to a wonderful viewpoint. Located on the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, on the Murscher Eselsche dream loop and on the Murscher Aussichten dream loop. A typical Morshausen project that began years ago during a conversation on New Year's Eve: "I have now bought a machine that can be used to cut figures from steel. We can do something on the donkey." At some point the idea with the steel donkey came up. Said and done. The graphic artist Fritz Eger painted the donkey, the steelworker Martin Boos built it, the concrete worker Erwin Beres took care of the fortification and many helpers brought it into the ground. There he is now. Source: Text information board

Rest area at the steel donkey

The bench and table were made in 2012 from a pear tree that had been cleared two years earlier. The table was cut out of the trunk with 4 chainsaw cuts. In the table surface, 2 projectiles were exposed, which presumably came from a hunting rifle. The discoloration caused by this can also be seen in the back of the bench. Source: Text information board

Root scarer

The motif design was based on the workers in the ore mines. The figures were carved from the lower end of the trunk of already fallen robinia trees. The black locust is often referred to as "false acacia". It is the toughest (most resistant) European type of wood. Source: Text information board
