As dusk falls, the door to a magical realm swings open. Dress warmly and embark on a fairytale journey into the world of the four elements. A luminous spectacle of water, fire, air and earth awaits you.
The illuminated sculptures will take you to underwater depths, forest undergrowth, flowery meadows and even into the clouds and up to the Sun. Visitors are in for an extraordinary adventure to discover the world of flora and fauna, embedded in the forces of the four elements around us.

The power consumption of illuminated sculptures is much lower that some people assume. Last year's exhibition consumed only as much energy as an elevator in a four - storey building.
So let's spend this winter together!
We use far less electricity walking together among the illuminated alleys than spending time alone in front of laptops or TV screens at home.
