Rymdpromenaden in Slottsskogen Park's Solar…

Walk through Gothenburg's Slottsskogen Park, visiting half-scale models of the solar system, placed as a collaboration between the museum and a local newspaper in 1978.

Rymdpromenaden is a 1:2 billion-scale model of the solar system, stretching from the entrance to Göteborg's Natural History Museum to the Tenngruvan in the Hoegsbologruvan industrial area. The models, each represented by a half-scale model with copper frames and granite blocks, are placed along appropriate paths in Slottsskogen and Änggårdsbergen parks. If you follow the planets in order from the sun to Pluto, the walk is about 6.5 km and includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, implied to be currently located within Slottsskogens Park.
