A head hewn from a huge boulder lies at the bottom of a ravine. The head is called “Old Man”, or “Adam’s Head”. Its features resemble the ones of Peter the Great, and according to the legend, it was made by a master from a Peterhoff’s stone refining factory to the memory of his son’s baptism by the emperor. According to another legend, the head once wore a helmet, and served as a inspiration for a magical head in Pushkin’s “Ruslan and Ludmila”
Anyhow, the head is still there and attracts many visitors. There is a nice park to walk around and admire the beauty of the buildings, once in property of the royal family. Today the buildings belong to a biological faculty of some St. Petersburg university.
The park is ten minutes away from Peterhoff by car. Parking is available. It is also possible to use the public transport to get there. City cabs (Marshrutka) nr. 300, 401A, and buses nr. 200, 348, 249 stop right next to the park. You can catch them in the South-West regions of St. Petersburg, or switch to them from a train in Peterhoff.
There is also a train going to a station Universitet, which is located in a 15 minute walk range from the destination.
