This stone is dedicated to the story of the snipe:
Spread the word and move the stone!
The snipe has a striking seduction tactic, which is a specific kind of flight. The bird plunges from the air in an oblique angle. He spreads his outer pens, which are curiously shaped. The vibrations create the sound of a bleating goat… Because of this action, the snipe is also called heavenly goat.The snipe was depicted on the 100 guilder banknote in the Netherlands befor the introduction of the Euro.
The common snipe is threatened in The Netherlands and critically endangered in Belgium. Via this stone I want to give this beautiful bird extra attention.”
This stone started travelling on 2019-06-26.
Besides the travelling stones, there are also “resting stones” with stories, placed on the trail. Together all these stones form the international art routes.
Click here for more info on the routes.
Did you take the traveling stone? And do you want to leave it on a new location, so it can continue it’s journey? Click here.
This art project wants to pleasantly surprise hikers through miniature art. A second goal is to initiate a new form of communication and awareness,through art and social media. The participant and I are looking forward for your story or response on this stone! (possibly with photo)
The next art project, with a route of resting and traveling stones, starts in 2019 of 2020.

The miniature, message and location.
This stone is dedicated to the story of the snipe:
“The common snipe (Gallinago gallinago) is part of a series travelling miniature stones depicting endangered or vulnerable animals in Europe. I want to bring attention to these special animals through this art project.
