Tips

Happy Hikers 🦋🌸🌼🦌🇳🇱

April 22, 2025

The success of the film "Tatort Falkenlay" inspired the idea of building a concrete replica of the main character, the old Lippi, for the film crew, the community, and guests. Apparently, it's located in the cave of events, and so the idea was born!

What should it look like? He prefers to indulge in his favorite pastime: relaxing around the campfire!

A friendly neighbor lent his face and hands to create lifelike casts. They constructed the upper body skeleton from strong wire. The legs were made from plumbing pipes and attached to the body.

Now the hard work began. Everything had to be filled with scrap paper, wrapped several times, and then rewired. After dressing Lippi in old pants, they could begin the concrete work.

Now the fine details of the body were modeled. The head, face, hands, and feet, which had been pre-cast, were placed in their designated places.

The masterpiece was complete!

With the kind support of the Kennfus volunteer fire department, Lippi then moved to his cave beneath the Falkenlay!
