On the occasion of the International Day for Biological Diversity in May 2020, three small pavilions made of welded wire mesh were constructed on a hilltop. Various types of regional plants, flowers and grass grow aloft the wire grids framing the view into the sky. This Open Mind Place serves as a place of retreat, to explore the connectedness with nature and self-identity. Meanwhile, it has developed into a beloved spot for many people in the region.
