    The first wood carvings were discovered in May 2025.

    Now, new animal figures are constantly being created, blending beautifully into the renaturalized rest area! A cormorant was the first, followed by a frog, a fish, a beaver… could these works also be by the Erzgebirge wood sculptor Jörg Bäßler? The artist has created some very beautiful pieces for the forest classroom at Unterbacher See.

    Since May 2025, this extraordinary piece of wood sawing has been located at the renaturalized rest area! It's truly a gigantic piece of woodwork, blending seamlessly into nature—first the cormorant 🦅, then the frog 🐸, and then the funny beaver 🦫 and the cute 🐟 fish. We'll be stopping here more often for a rest or picnic. So beautiful—you can see all the way to Düsseldorf's TV tower.
