Art Along The Way shows that art and nature can indeed be in harmony and that they can even merge with one another. Extraordinary art objects have been incorporated into the picturesque backdrop of the Reischach hiking trails, which sometimes only the attentive hiker can discover.
The artworks were positioned by Ursula Pescoller herself in carefully selected places along the paths so that they are embedded in the idyll of the woods and merge with them.
