Very large and interesting wood sculptures. Each of them tells several stories in the carvings. Definitely look from all sides.

Depending on the route, the stretch to the tower can be strenuous. Especially the last 20 meters are not passable. If you are on a bicycle, you will have to push it (very likely). Next to the tower, there is naturally a garden bench with a table and some interesting information boards. The tower should be climbed by first making a donation in the small cash box next to the stairs. I think this is very good because the tower is not in good condition and will need renovation soon. The view from the top is so beautiful. You can see everything in 360 degrees. That's why I hope the tower will be renovated instead of just being left as it is.

Around the Witches' Pond, there are tree sculptures that, at first glance, look like Native American torture stakes. They are, in fact, miraculous sculptures by the Serbian artist Mile Prerad.
