Stone Sculpture Path
Dear sculptur path visitorThe Stone Sculpture Path Vättis needs a substantial renovation.
That is why we needed to put some sculptures in a safe position out of an abundance of caution.
As of last spring, we are searching for finances needed for materials, machines and expertise.
Thank you for your understanding.

Stone Sculpture Path
Under For Visitors -> Sculpture path you find details about the 500m long path with twelve stone sculptures. You may book a guided tour if you want to know more about the sculptures.
Bartgeiers Z'nüni (Breakfast of the bearded vulture)
The work of the sculptor Gyelt Tuinstra consists of a four-part wood sculpture and a fairy tale. It was created in honour of the reintroduction of bearded vultures in Vättis.
As the material deteriorates, the konfiguration was changed in 2018 for safety reasons.
