| Once upon a time (six years ago) the idea of
the Glass Ark was born. Skilful German artists-glassmakers
created The Glass Ark and their Czech colleagues-woodcarvers
made a wooden palm which together symbolise a fragility
of nature, tradition of local people, mutual understanding
of people living on both sides of the formerly split
region and challenge for common future. |

The ark in the heart of the national park |
During three years the ark invited many people to special
places of both German and Czech national parks, very often
just to see her and make a picture.

On her pilgrimage across the national park region the ark
was bringing lot of events, gathering artists, philosophers,
and common people.

One of last happenings was an attempt to allow the
ark to float, even just in the pictures. We had a lot
of fun. |
