“Footsteps from the past”

“Footsteps from the past” consists of different boulders placed on one of the hiking trails on the mountains around the Norwegian city of Bergen.On each stone there is a footprint. Footprints of animals and people, which also allows us to walk through history.

It all started with the footprint of the dinosaurus, which lived a 250 million years ago to be gone a 66 million years ago.

After the dinosaurus the elephant appeared and left his print until today

The bear came later, about 2,5 million years ago and travelled from Europe all over Asia and North America.

Modern man came only 300 thousand years ago and walked on two feet all over the globe.

Then shoes took over the footprints. This is a model of a Dutch wooden shoe.
