Guided Story

Can you feel the gentle wind and hear the subtle sound of water? Here, in front of the Flutstein, you're surrounded by a powerful story. Imagine the streets around you submerged, turned into a vast, unpredictable sea. Behind you, near the Peace Bell, you can almost feel the heartbeat of the city as it slowly came back to life after the floods. Toni Gehlsen created this stone not just as a memorial but as a symbol of the community's resilience. Look up at its height, a stark reminder of the floodwaters' levels. It's a quiet companion inviting you to reflect on life's challenges and the courage to rise above them.
