Findlingspark Henzendorf, Sculpture garden in Brandenburg, Germany

Findlingspark Henzendorf is a sculpture garden in the Schlaubetal Nature Park, southwest of Henzendorf. On four hectares, around 1,000 glacial boulders from the Nochten and Döbern open-cast mines are arranged by Hittite, Germanic and Celtic motifs. Copies of Hittite and Celtic art were carved by Polish artists Kazimierz Krewniak and Adam Sobiraj. A three-kilometre path towards Reicherskreuz is lined with over 2,000 boulders.

A Berlin sculptor founded the park in 1992 using stones from former mining areas in the region. The works draw inspiration from artistic traditions of ancient civilizations such as the Hittites and Celts.

The stones are arranged by Hittite, Germanic and Celtic motifs, and the Hittite and Celtic copies were carved by the Polish artists Kazimierz Krewniak and Adam Sobiraj. A German-Polish sculpture plein-air in June 1999, with four German and one Polish sculptor, produced the first individual works. The path from Henzendorf to Reicherskreuz is laid out as a "Weg der Steine" documenting 2,000 years of human development.

The main route runs about three kilometres from Henzendorf to Reicherskreuz, so plan for a one-way walk and arrange your return. The geological trail opened in autumn 2007, with labelled stones explaining rock types and glacial origins. Sturdy shoes help on the field paths.

Many visitors overlook that the stones originally came from mining areas, and the artists transformed old quarry wounds into artworks. This transformation makes each sculpture a symbol of healing and the reuse of local resources.
