Dietrich Worb's Romans are made of oak and rise 4 meters high. Peeking out from behind a palisade, they gaze into the landscape, which has transformed over the past decades, thus establishing a connection between the past and the present. The sculptures are located near the 56-hectare Roman camp, which was built between 11 and 8 BC on what is now the territory of Bergkamen-Oberaden.

What is beauty? Does beauty manifest itself in nature or in an ideal, man-made form? The English painter William Hogarth (1697-1764) explored this question and saw the undulating line, with its harmonious and dynamic sweep, as an expression of beauty. The artist Diemut Schilling references Hogarth's concept in her work, which invites visitors to rest on the dike. The contrast between the winding wooden sculpture, which evokes the grace of the river's former natural course, and the purpose-straightened Seseke here echoes the current question of the proportionality of our massive interventions in nature.

This path is wider than the previous kilometers. The surface is rather rough, but flat.

The paths in the park are beautifully landscaped and lead through woodland and open spaces. A golf course is integrated into the park; visitors are asked to stay on the paths.
