Nature
This nature park consists of 400 hectares of land that is filled with walking and cycling paths, forest, fields, lakes, rivers and wildlife. You can see wild pigs, Przewalski’s horses, otters, storks, elk, deer, bison, birds of prey, herons and possibly (if you’re very lucky) beavers. The animals have lots of space to roam and it’s a fantastic place to go for a walk, bike ride or picnic. There’s also a play area for children (with a very cool flying fox) and a restaurant overlooking the lake.

Art
Unveiled in 2010, the giant sculpture took six long years to create due to multiple funding and manufacturing problems. The basic form of the sculpture is of a crouching man, which was modeled after Gormley himself who was cast in the position to get it just right. The overall shape is evident from afar, but as you get closer, it begins to lose its continuity as it’s true form reveals itself. The 85-foot tall figure is actually made of some 2,000 girders of differing length, roughly bolted together with over 5,400 bolts. The girders were each hand cut in a sort of ordered chaos that keeps the work from finding any symmetry. The closer one gets to the statue, the more it simply looks like a jumble of metal beams.
