Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden

This big park (30 acres) is located above the Wupper valley in the Christbusch woodland.
It was first built for entrepreneur Kurt Herberts, then sat abandoned for years before British sculptor and Wuppertal resident Tony Cragg purchased it in 2006. Cragg redesigned and renovated the place, opening Waldfrieden Sculpture Park in 2008. He wanted to show not just his own work, but also sculptures of other famous artists.
Three glass pavilions (one of them with amazing views) show rotating exhibitions.
We had a wonderful time walking in the trees (maple, oak, sequoia and beech trees) and discovering the art. It is such a rare treat to be able to enjoy nature and art at the same time.
If you are in Wuppertal, I highly recommend a visit to Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden!
