Mountain biking

An eye-catcher on the long climb to Buchet.

Mountain biking

A curiosity along the way: the engine and chassis of the VW Beetle are in balance.

Hiking

On a meadow (main street) there is an oversized seesaw on a 7 meter high mast: on one side is the body of an old VW Beetle, on the other side its engine and gearbox. The wind drives both gently rocking around in circles. And has been doing so since 2008. As part of an international sculpture exhibition by "Artemedia", the metal sculptor Herbert Kruft (his sculpture park in Niederprüm is always worth a visit!) installed the flying beetle at the entrance to Buchet. And there it still spins in the wind today, visible from afar, and causes astonished faces.
