21 rocks line the path from the train station to the city center - every 50 to 100 meters there is a granite block weighing two to eight tons and up to three meters high. The German-Swedish artist Dagmar Glemme has created a picturesque cosmos on these stones. Mythical creatures, archaic signs and symbols are reminiscent of shamanism, sagas and myths of ancient peoples or the fantastic dream images of Marc Chagall.
