Wooden Sculptures and Viewpoint at Haardgrenzweg

Highlight • Viewpoint

All sculptures are made of oak wood and come from the artist Georg Maurus from Greifenstein in Hesse. It's hard to believe that he can create these lifelike and expressive shapes with chainsaws.

Most of his sculptures are on the Haard Grenzweg in Oer-Erkenschwick, which was decorated as a forest promenade in 2020, some also on the Hohe Mark Steig, for example in the Schwärmwald (Schermbeck) and in the Haard (Datteln, Oer-Erkenschwick). Each individual sculpture symbolizes and is reminiscent of a peculiarity of the respective location. In every object there is not only craftsmanship, but also a lot of brain power.

Today we went for a short walk through the Haard mountains. Being outside and taking a deep breath felt really good.

The view from the fire watchtower is simply breathtakingly beautiful every time. 😍

April 28, 2024,Verwunschene Pfade – Die Haard Runde von Oer

A somewhat different kind of home tour. For today, Brita chose a ready-made Komoot route that was really criss-crossed with lovely little forest paths. 13 hikers and Lilly the dog enjoyed the pleasant weather in wonderful surroundings. One of the highlights was the Farnberg fire watchtower, although only 3 1/2 people climbed it. When the weather was clear, we could …

Super nice walk through the forest. However, there are not many places to sit, it's good that we always have a picnic blanket with us :0). We hardly met anyone early in the morning (start at 8:15 a.m.) on a Saturday...very pleasant.

I found a beautiful route on Komoot that impressed me so much that I would like to share some of my impressions with you.

I often have the problem of finding a suitable parking space at the start of the hiking route.
Here you have no problems...! Promise 🤞☺️ A nice shady forest parking lot allows you to park your …
