Indulge in artistic sensibilities – Bruno Weber Park is a sculpture park designed by Swiss artists Bruno Weber. The park stretching across an area of 20,000 sq m is home to enumerable concrete sculptures taking shape of different creatures. It is the largest sculpture park in the country, created by a single artist. Located in the personal vineyard, on the edge of the forest above Dietikon and Spreitenbach, the park is Bruno Weber’s fantasy landscape. Larger than life sculptures of animals, gargoyles, and mythical creatures are found covered with bright colourful mosaics. The water gardens, water well, the entrance, the "snake bridge" crossing the pond, the villa tower, and everything else reflects Bruno Weber’s mythical genius. It can be reached by a half hour train ride from Zürich. The park is a fun place to hang out with kids. They will love climbing up the colourful animals and creatures. Walk around the dreamland, and admire the genius of a man who created the park to convey an understanding between mankind and the living environment.
