Within four weeks in 2007, fascinating works of art were created here by seven renowned artists from Germany.
A wide variety of materials such as wood, stone, metal and marble took shape at the sculpture symposium under the direction of Prof. Altenstein.
Be inspired and enjoy the impressive figures and the view of the sea.
We would like to thank H&P Touristik for their cooperation with this unique symposium on the Butjading coast.
We would like to briefly introduce the artists and their sculptures:

About the sculpture:
The sculpture entitled "Der Blick" ("The View") seeks a dialog with the viewer and is only complete through the viewer. The blue colouring reduces the details of the human figure and emphasizes the gesture of looking down. The sculpture, which is over four meters high, stands on the beach at Burhave - near the Regenbogen Ferienanlagen Burhave campsite.
