During the revival of interest in landscape gardening culture, during the 1988 sculpture symposium of the RSFSR Union of Artists, it was decided to make many sculptures in Vyborg. The site was ideally suited for this - local grey rapakivi granite from the Renaissance quarry was used for the sculptures.
Since then Vyborg differs from other cities by the abundance of sculptures. We will visit the Sculpture Garden, on which 11 sculptors worked. One of the sculptures, which is part of this series, but is not located here, we will see a little later. It's The Boy with the Cat.

We have finally reached the main attraction, the bay's waterfront, which is called Salakka-Lakti in Finnish.
Here you can find famous drakkars (rooks). They remind us of the Viking culture that stayed here in the distant past.
From here you can also enjoy a beautiful view of the Vyborg Castle.
