Art paths

A feature of the "Bucher Forst" (the Buch Forest) and the Hobrechtswald are the many sculptures that have been integrated into the landscape and which can be discovered along a circular pathway. The largest part has been created by the sculptors’ symposium "Steine ohne Grenzen" which has taken place regularly since 2001 to create a unique open air gallery in cooperation with the Berlin Forestry Commission Berliner Forsten.
