It shows hidden details of natural elements of the landscape, combined with thematic focuses of the song “Silent Night! Holy Night!” as well as the life of Josef Mohr in Hintersee. Contact the painter: Bernd Horak, www.bernd-horak.com Station 3: “Joseph Mohr Statue” by Felix Igler This fascinating statue made of iron and spruce wood is intended to commemorate Joseph Mohr's charity. Mohr not only gave attention and food to the needy, but also wood for heating. Contact the artist: www.felix-igler.com “Tree Xylophone” by Martin Ainz The larch wood tree xylophone invites you to make music. Perhaps you would like to try to play the melody of the “Silent Night song”? The artist: “For me, this oversized musical instrument brings the sound of the wood back into the forest via the detour of my processing. It is unique to be able to give something back to nature.” Contact the artist: www.tischlerei-ainz.at Station 4: “Relaxation Lounger” by Michael Ebner This dynamically constructed lounger made of larch wood is intended to invite visitors to the Joseph Mohr Memorial Path to enjoy nature, to free their thoughts and to listen to the music (“Sounding Baptismal Font”) in a relaxed way. The master carpenter and wood artist Michael Ebner shows a particularly good aesthetic sense for the ambience in his creations. Contact the carpenter: www.holzinform.at “Sounding Baptismal Font” by Martin Ainz It consists of an old wooden baptismal font and a tabernacle from the parish church of Hintersee. The original “Silent Night! Holy Night” melody sounds when you press the button. For the artist Martin Ainz, the song symbolizes a worldwide journey, which also creates the connection to the “wandering priest” Joseph Mohr.

The artist's thoughts on this picture: “Joseph Mohr made Hintersee brighter with his charity and guitar music. He brought joy and light into the lives of the poor.” This magical “angel” also brings joy and light to many of us!
