I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but in 2003 Goettingen put a Planet Path in their town. It is all to scale in the city starting near the train station and going all the way into the forest. It is done to scale in length and in size of the planets. (Here's the link to the webpage if you're a geek like me: http://www.planetarium-goettingen.de/Planetenweg/) My goal this summer was to find all the plaques and take a picture with them. Success!
You can barely see the Mercury representation in the middle of the clear plexiglas, it's so tiny.
Jupiter. Forgot to take a picture with the front of it.
Pluto was too small for a representation, but it did have a plaque! We had to hike up quite a ways to find this one.
