Enchanted Highway, Metal sculpture collection along County Highway 21 in Hettinger County, United States
The Enchanted Highway is a county road featuring oversized metal sculptures positioned at regular intervals along its length. Each artwork is constructed from scrap materials and stands independently as a distinct installation for visitors to explore.
A local artist began this roadside project in 1989 to support his hometown's economy and prevent decline. The route gradually became known among travelers and has shaped the region's identity since then.
The sculptures display local wildlife like pheasants and grasshoppers formed entirely from salvaged metal. They shape how travelers see the landscape and reveal the community's connection to its natural surroundings.
Each sculpture has its own parking area where you can stop and view the artwork from different angles. The route is well marked and easy to navigate, making it simple to move between installations at your own pace.
One sculpture reaches 110 feet (33 meters) tall and 150 feet (46 meters) wide, making it among the world's largest scrap metal artworks. This extraordinary scale creates a striking presence in the flat landscape.
