Hiking
In 1995, the threat of high water was so great that a quarter of a million people in the river area had to evacuate. Also in Culemborg. Immediately afterwards, a project started to strengthen the dike and develop nature.
This work of art is a lasting reminder of that project.
The shovel represents the work on the dike. The woman with child and umbrella symbolize protection against the water. The bird refers to the new nature.
The artwork was created by visual artist Dick Matze
