Description of the walk was too succinct, especially at the beginning of the walk. We took the wrong path initially, had to check a walking app to get the correct path up to the singing ringing tree. We are not sure if we were on correct path or not but we got to the sculpture. Directions from the sculpture are clearer. A bit more detail would be better.
