Snail Sculpture at Lichtenwald Community Center

Highlight • Monument

The sculpture „Blauer Ammonit“ is located directly in front of the entrance to the Bürger- und Kulturzentrum in Lichtenwald on the Schurwald. The artwork was created in July 2015 by the artist duo Atelier Heinze (Raj Heinze). It is a central eye-catcher of the place and corresponds directly in form and color with the adjacent roundabout.

Pearl of Remembrance Lichtenwald

Highlight • Monument

The sculpture was created by the local artist couple Angie and René Heinze (Atelier RAJ-Heinze) and was ceremonially handed over to the municipality on February 18, 2018. In terms of design, it is reminiscent of petrified sea urchins that lived in the Swabian Sea about 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period.

This tour was recommended to me by @Robert, thank you very much for that, I liked it a lot.
It must be said, however, that the highlights here are works of art and various old buildings, rather than nature itself. You get beautiful views now and then, but you walk on asphalt paths and through several villages.
I found it …

Wonderful tour on a wonderful late summer day. You could enjoy the sun on the terrace of the Schurwaldbesen.

The Lichtenwald cultural circular route is 10 km long. We saved ourselves the last kilometer along the road today and got on the bus 1 stop earlier, especially since the bus came right away.

Note 1: Bus line 262 Schorndorf - Plochingen. You can get on and off at several stops.
