The Friedenspark (Peace Park) in downtown Thale, Germany displays a number of sculptures related to Norse and Germanic mythology.
This carving by Mike Richter is an artistic depiction of Yggdrasil, the World Tree.
In Norse mythology, this giant tree connects the nine worlds of Norse legends.
The carving shows the tree, an eagle, a squirrel and Níðhöggr, a dragon, which in Norse mythology lives among the roots of the world tree. |
