从森林和绿地中浮现的三座红斑岩丘陵是Verano地区的一道独特的风景线。“Knottnkino³”项目旨在通过环形步道和新建的休息区域使这三个岩层形成连接。

The three Knottn – red porphyry-hills – emerge suddenly from the forest- and meadow-landscape in Verano and lend the area its distinctive character. The circular hiking trail “Knottnkino³” connects these three rock formations with their newly created resting areas.

Rotstein岩层距离“Knottnkino³”步道最近，艺术家Franz Messner于2000年通过将该处地形切割为圆形，将岩层打造为一个有靠背的长椅休息区。圆形的长椅完美地融入到周围景观中。地面上的网状图案由艺术家Antoinette Bader设计，受到了风向图的启发。该圆形休息区被建于自然场地与步道之间，为人们提供了一个思考的空间，促进了人与自然的交流、过去与未来的对话。

At the Rotstein-Knott – in the immediate vicinity of the “Knottnkino³” – conceptualized and created by the artist Franz Messner in the year 2000 – evolves through circular cuts in the terrain, an even, from the porphyry elaborated space with a bench and a backrest. The circular segments immerge into the landscape and dissolve. The only thing that remains on the surface are traces in the form of lines. A net of lines is the origin for the wind rose by the designer Antoinette Bader. A petroglyph cut in the even terrain of the porphyry at the intersection of context and intervention opens up a space for thoughts. Symbolically for the complex integration and positioning of the world the incomplete opens up a dialog between nature and man-made, between past and future.
