Viewed from above, with a little imagination, the Kempen Ridge's relief can be seen as if a giant were sleeping beneath the landscape. Because of the vegetation on the sand dunes, they no longer move, and the giant's slumber is not disturbed. In 2018, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh's artwork, "A Giant Sculpture," was unveiled. It was placed on the 30-meter-high summit of the Hoge Mouw sand dune. (Efkesweg.be)

In a thunderstorm, it is best not to touch it, a lightning strike can be dangerous. Inside it is a Faraday cage and you are safe, but what if you touch the corten steel at the moment that lightning strikes? Still, stay away from this beautiful work of art in a thunderstorm!?
