Arche 2.0 – An art installation by Georg Zenz
It was with this thought in mind that the Ark 2.0 came into being – a spectacular wooden art installation. The 26-metre-long and almost six-metre-high sculpture stands in the high-altitude hiking area of the Wildkogel Arena against the impressive backdrop of the Hohe Tauern, inviting visitors to pause, marvelling and reflect.
