Even without skates, FOREST - WINTERLIGHTS works its magic: explore the installation on foot, take your time, and let yourself be amazed.

Let yourself be enchanted and experience the magical, sparkling winter world
This atmospheric artwork warms the hearts of both children and adults, transforming the dark, cold winter season into a time of festive magic and joy. Illuminated fir trees hang like stars from the sky, creating a space you can freely wander through. The visual experience is accompanied by a wintry symphony of light and sound, perfectly synchronized to a soundtrack by composer Chris Kuijten. The music blends contemplative melodies with powerful rhythms that invite both reflection and dancing.
