    Hiking

    The construction of the monument illustrates these two phases. An uprooted tree trunk in a crater symbolizes the effects of bombs and thus human destruction, while an acorn placed high above represents the origin, essence, or even hope for a new life after the war. These two handmade sculptures are complemented by an oak tree that grew naturally in the park and embodies life and lasting freedom.
