Hi, good afternoon everybody. A nice trip can be start with "Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain" sculpture in Germany. It is my first amazing place to share with you guys. Have you heard about it before? Lets start our "journey"......
Walking along this elevated pathway by German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth is like being on a roller coaster. Since 13th of November the large-scale sculpture “Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain” by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth is accessible for the public.
This 21-metre-high sculptural walkway is named Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain and is positioned upon a hilltop in Duisburg, Germany. “Tiger and Turtle” actually refers with its immanent dialectic of speed and deadlock to the situation of change in the region and its turn towards renaturation and restructuring.
Look at a staircase winds across the surface of the steel structure, which spirals around itself just like the fairground ride.
You guys can climb onto the sculpture where it meets the ground, but a loop-the-loop at the center prevents anyone being able to walk a full circuit. On top, at the highest point of the sculpture – 45 meters above ground – you can have an extraordinary view over the landscape of the Western Ruhr.
With 44 x 37 meters base and 21 meters construction height the sculpture is not only one of the largest in Germany, but also a masterpiece of engineering.
