entrance free entry

The focus is on the PURPLE PATH, which can be experienced in a special form at the NETZ-Werk: As an exhibition with large-format picture panels, the works of the over 400-kilometre-long art and sculpture trail are brought together in one place. This gives visitors the opportunity to discover the works and stories from a total of 38 municipalities in one place.

A special highlight is the author Stefan Tschök, who has travelled to all stations of the Purple Path for his book "Schöne Grüße aus der Provinz". In his readings at 14:00 and 16:00, he will talk about his encounters with local people as well as the background to the works of art and their significance for the region.

The event also offers a wide range of culinary delights: The pasta manufacturer Harfesigg stands for regional products and will spoil guests with fresh pasta and waffles.

The programme is complemented by live music and other offers that invite the whole family to enjoy a relaxed stay.

With this event, the NETZ-Werk Neukirchen opens its doors as a place of encounter, culture and enjoyment. This is an ideal opportunity to get to know the special atmosphere of this place, especially for those who are not yet familiar with the NETZ-Werk.
