    Surreal-looking dinosaur eggs in front of "scorched earth", definitely a highlight, especially with, but also without children

    The grenade eggs in the middle of forest create a surreal scene. Even when the weather is nice, it will create a quiet place compared to the surrounding paths.

    Hiking

    In the Wurmtal (the valley of the Wurm River) near Würselen/Aachen, you'll find a striking artistic element in the landscape: large "granite eggs" (actually white marble sculptures) scattered throughout the nature reserve along hiking and cycling paths.

    These stone eggs are landscape artworks installed in 2008 as part of the EURORegionale (EuRegionale), a cultural and regional development project in the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. The eggs serve as public art objects in the open countryside and form a playful and recognizable landmark along hiking trails in the Wurmtal: you can see them as you walk through meadows, forests, and along the river.
