Die Wasserwächterin

Die Wasserwächterin, eine Skulptur von vier Metern Höhe mit einem über fünf Meter hohen Windrad in der Hand befindet sich direkt am Ufer der Alten Donau. Ihre Präsenz wird durch ein kunstvolles Wasserspiel und raffinierte Lichteffekte unterstrichen, wodurch sie sowohl vom Wasser aus als auch von der Parkseite in voller Schönheit erstrahlt.

The Water Guardian

The Water Guardian, a four-metre-tall sculpture holding a windmill over five metres high in her hand, is located directly on the banks of the Old Danube. Her presence is accentuated by an artistic water feature and sophisticated lighting effects, allowing her to radiate in all her beauty both from the water and from the park.
