A rock crevice is a narrow crack in the rock, while a lagoon generally refers to a partially enclosed body of water. The path to the Schwarzbach Waterfall above Luttach is lined with wooden sculptures created by international artists. Wooden sculptures are three-dimensional works of art made of wood.
