The large sculptures were created during a stone sculptors' symposium in July 2012.
They were made by international and regional artists from different types of stone and placed at prominent locations within the municipalities of Steinwenden, Weltersbach, and Obermohr. Each sculpture impresses with its size, shape, material characteristics, and overall impression. The viewer can give their personal rating.
The path leads over the highest point of the 3 districts (Wackenberg), from where hikers can enjoy a panoramic view including Potzberg, West Palatinate Moor Lowlands, and Sickingen Heights.
The relatively short route has only gentle inclines and can be walked by hiking groups of all ages and fitness levels with unlimited participants.
