About
Quick facts: A massive art piece and park combined covers 190 hectares shaped like a geometric sculpture. The landscape is partly reclaimed from a landfill, transformed into vibrant green hills and transparent waters.
Highlights: The centerpiece is a giant glass mountain called Mount Moere with 360-degree views from a glass observatory. Five large geometric fountains mimic iconic sculptures, blending art, nature, and play in a seamless experience.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking over varied terrain including grass and gravel paths.
- Bring a camera and explore different angles of the glass pyramid and reflective fountains for unique photos.
- Avoid peak weekend afternoons when local families visit, aiming for weekday mornings instead.
- Check the schedule for seasonal light shows and art installations to time your visit for extra visual treats.
