Arrach Lake Park with Nature Art Parks

Arrach Lake Park with Nature Art Parks (Patricia Schwägerl)

Consisting of a lake park, a moor and the "Gut Kleß" energy park, the Nature-Art-Parks in Arrach form a unique symbiosis of nature, art and regenerative energies.

The Natur-Art parks in the climatic health resort of Arrach are connected by an approximately three-kilometre-long, accessible climate-terrain path. Works of art made of glass, metal and wood along the way symbolise the interplay of nature, old craftsmanship paired with modern glass art and regenerative energies. In the lake park, visitors can expect bathing and recreational fun for the whole family. There is a disabled toilet on the grounds. A wooden plank path suitable for wheelchairs and strollers leads through the Moorpark. Information boards or guided tours inform passers-by about the special features of the flora and fauna in the Arrach Moor. After the moor nature trail, the route continues towards the "Gut Kleß" energy park, where the impressive photopholtaic installations can be explored. Over the old stone bridge, the path leads past the old arts and crafts to the museum landscape at the Drexler farm. From there it goes back to the starting point via the footpath.
