Leube Sculpture Park: Come back tomorrow

Art and nature – this combination makes the sculpture trail of the building materials manufacturer Leube Group in Grödig-St. Leonhard a must-see. The romantic path leads along the Königsseeache River and surprises with works of art in the forest. The Leube Sculpture Trail offers insight into modern art. Many of the artists have been Leube's "artists in residence." The trail was opened in 2013 to mark the company's 175th anniversary.

Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Hörbelt jointly created the "Pixel Tube Leonhard 8/8" on the Leube Sculpture Trail. It was created between 2012 and 2013. Although made of concrete at its core, the tube is more transparent than glass because the numerous mirrors capture and reflect the changing surroundings. The tube thus becomes a being that returns our gaze with its compound eyes.

The artwork "Scandal in Paradise" in the center of the Leube Sculpture Trail dates from 2011. It was created by Viennese artist Ona B. It is a bright red sphere floating above the forest floor, which would be accessible via the attached ladder were it not for the "No Trespassing!" sign. For Ona B., it is a reminder of the tree houses of her childhood, where one could experience a secret view of the world, but also the sense of unobserved isolation.

"Come Back Tomorrow" is the name of the southernmost work on the Leube Sculpture Trail on the banks of the Königsseeache River. With this installation from 2009/2010, French artist Alix Delmas intended to symbolize the notion of floating and flying. Visitors are invited to step onto the pink-colored concrete platform and embark on a mental journey with this "flying carpet."

Descending from the Gutratberg on the northwest side toward Grödig, you pass the huge quarry of the Leube building materials group. Many areas have already been reclaimed, while limestone is still being mined elsewhere. Founded in Ulm in 1838, the Leube Group is the oldest cement company in the world still managed by the founding families.
