The new walking tour was represented by the Museum of the Battle of Poltava

 On September 21, 2019, the Museum of the Battle of Poltava in the framework of the European Heritage Days in Ukraine presented a walking tour "Following in the footsteps of the Dalarna Regiment". This regiment is one of the oldest regiments in the Swedish army that traced its origins back to the 16th century. It was formed in 1625 in Falun, Dalarna County, central Sweden. The regiment belonged to the elite units of the Swedish army, it was considered an unofficial guard.

 The Dalarna Regiment numbered about 1,100 men under the command of Colonel Gustaf Henrik von Siegroth took part in the Battle of Poltava, in the fighting near Russian redoubts. After quickly taking the first and second redoubts, the regiment suffered heavy losses during the assault on the third redoubt. Colonel Siegroth was mortally wounded, and most of his men perished during taking this Russian strong defensive emplacement. The Dalekarlians took their last battle on the outskirts of the Yakivchansky Forest (now Poltava City Park (arboretum)). The remnants of the regiment surrendered to the Muscovites near the Holy Cross Exaltation Monastery. The walking tour started at 10a.m. from the Poltava Military Communication School and passed through historical places - through the redoubt line, the arboretum, to the Museum of the Battle of Poltava (the total length of the route is about 5 km). Tourists were able to feel like real warriors of the Swedish King Charles XII while taking part in the military reconstruction of the fighting near the reconstructed redoubt close to the museum.
