The
water of a large pond merges into a marsh area vegetated with reeds and bulrush
(Typha), which in turn blends into the shore zone that's dominated by large sedge
swamps. A sand path encircles this body of water, running across dense willow
brush. In parts the path runs on wooden planks through the marsh area. Walking
over stepping stones one can reach a small isle, on which several meadows by the
shore invite the visitors to sit and rest. Here, protected
| by reeds and
tall grass one can enjoy the relaxing view of the water surrounding the isle. Another
place where visitors can retreat and contemplate is a tepee that's erected on
a site obscured from public view. It is built using bamboo poles draped with fabrics
in pale lilac, pink and seaweed green colours, and blankets embroidered with silver. In
a grove consisting of seven aspen trees, the ground beneath them a soft green
carpet of grass, several wind chimes sway gently in the breeze. top
