Path of lights

Path of lights "Enchanting rays of light"

With this year's "Zauberhafte Lichtblicke" trail of lights, artist Irene Wieland has created an illuminated fantasy world in which legends and fables, cross-generational tales, musical and Christmas motifs are woven into a harmonious whole. Angelic creatures wander through the alleyways as colourful, sculptural illuminated objects and accompany visitors at every turn.

The path leads through areas where winter stories come to life, while impressive light creatures dance between fir branches and decorations.

Essential motifs run through the path like a common thread: Angels that bring colour to seemingly dark times; Christmas symbols that give hope and timeless fairy tales that bring families together and awaken the magic within us.

This path of lights invites you to pause for a moment: Close your eyes, listen, marvel and at the end of the path you will be left with the feeling that you have experienced a small miracle. Because every step you take along the magical path of lights is an instant spark of light, colour and warmth.

When you reach the end of the trail of lights, the illuminated nativity scene shines out at you.

This romantic depiction of the Christmas story through light sculptures is the creation of the Chilean artist couple Muriel Cornejo and César Olhagaray. With loving attention to detail, they breathe their own radiant life into the Holy Family, the shepherds, the kings and the Star of Bethlehem. Each accent of light adds a new nuance to the story: the gentle movement of the wind, the friendly smiles of the figures, the warm light of hope that slowly settles over the scene.

The nativity scene invites you to pause, take a deep breath and marvel together. You feel carried by the warmth of the lights, carried by the story that has accompanied us for centuries. And when the last glow fades, the memory of a shared glow remains, shining on in our hearts long after the night is over.
