The large bronze, mechanical-looking hiking boot directly references the renowned hiking boot manufacturer Meindl, a brand associated worldwide with quality and nature experiences. The sculpture stands as a tribute to everyone who ventures into nature in search of tranquility, effort, views, and adventure.

It reminds hikers that every step counts: across boardwalks, slag heaps, heathlands, forests, and old mining routes.

The sculpture stands in the middle of an open environment, giving it a real presence. The raw materials, realistic design, and substantial dimensions make the sculpture immediately stand out.

The Hiking Boot Sculpture stands in a place where nature, heritage, and recreation converge. From here, you can head towards:

• the slag heaps of Terhills,

• the ponds created by mining,

• the open heathland and pine forests,

• the plains of the Hoge Kempen National Park.

It is a fitting symbol in a place where hiking is deeply intertwined with the environment.

For many visitors, the Meindl statue is a fixture on the trail. Its robust design and location in the landscape make it ideal for a photo. It acts almost as a kind of "starting point stamp" for your hike—
your hiking boots facing the giant Meindl shoe.

The Meindl Hiking Boot Statue is more than a work of art: it's a friendly nod to everyone who comes to explore the area. A reminder that the most beautiful places are accessible with a good pair of shoes, a curious eye, and a desire to move.
