Something I've never seen before, Stuart G
(CNN) Football stadiums have long been synonymous with noise and commotion.
But an art installation in Austria is turning this idea on its head in a bid to draw attention to climate change and deforestation.
Wörthersee Football Stadium in Klagenfurt has been transformed into a magnificent forest for a new project by Swiss artist Klaus Littmann.
The huge pitch, located near Lake Wörthersee in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia, is now lined with around 300 trees, some weighing up to six tons each.
"For Forest -- The Unending Attraction of Nature," which launches September 8, was inspired by a dystopian drawing completed by Austrian artist and architect Max Peintner more than 30 years ago.
