Hiking
It is a colossus of solid gray concrete, which curves around five meters around the end of the Demminer Mühlengraben. With the Whispering Bench, a physical phenomenon is to be turned into an excursion destination. The bench is curved in such a way that it will be possible for two people to converse in whispers from end to end. If you speak in the direction of the backrest, the person at the other end of the bench should be able to understand the words.

Hiking
Thanks to its shape and acoustics, up to 30 people can whisper secrets from one end to the other – the sound is directed along the bench, allowing for quiet and 'eavesdrop-proof' conversations. This is comparable to classic whispering galleries (such as the whispering arch in Görlitz).
