Talented, great, and unhappy

In Petersburg, as in other capitals of great empires, everything breathes the spirit of history and power; it is full of secrets, mysteries, myths, and mysticism. Everything preserves the memory of great and terrible people, their heroic and not-so-heroic deeds, and the stories connected with them.

More than thirty rune stones have been found in Sigtuna. Many of them are very fragmentarily preserved and have not been found in their original context. The majority of the Sigtuna stones are dated to the second half of the 11th century. 12 rune stones are included in this walk. A few more rune stones are included in the permanent exhibition at the Sigtuna Museum. Here you can also see some of more than a hundred runic inscriptions made on artefacts and especially on animal bones, usually ribs from cattle, found during archaeological excavations in Sigtuna. Each registered runestone has a number and a letter. The letter U means that the stone is in Uppland. The number is assigned when the stone is registered. Nf stands for "New Find" and the number afterwards stands for the year they were found. Sources: ww.sigtuna.se (Text: Thorgunn Snædal (National Board of Antiquities) and Sten Tesch (Arkistoria).

Douglas Adams’ famous comedy science fiction series The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has become an international multi-media phenomenon. Originally a 1978 radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4, it was later adapted to other formats, including stage shows, novels, comic books, a 1981 TV series, a 1984 video game, and a 2005 film. While a great part of the latest film (2005) was produced in the studio, a number of real-life places were also featured. Check out some spots that Arthur and Ford as well as all the fans of the film will no doubt recognize.

Follow this enchanting hiking trail between palm trees and the sea for magnificent views with a bit of history. Rambla means esplanade or promenade in Spanish, and Castro means fort or fortification. But despite what you might think, the walk has little to do with fortifications and is named after the ex-owner of this land, Don Hernando de Castro. The walk can be done in both ways. We recommend starting from Mirador de San Pedro and walking down to Punta Brava. A good idea could be to take a cab from Puerto de la Cruz to Mirador de San Pedro (about 10 EUR as of January 2021) and walk all the way back. Alternatively, you can park your car at the Mirador (there are some parking spaces) and then take a taxi back from Punta Brava or Puerto de la Cruz. As of January 2021, part of the path between Romantica and Hotel Maritim was officially closed, but still accessible (at your own risk).
