It literally means "worth seeing".

It's not even "belvedere" or "tourist attraction", which tell you the type of thing on maps in other countries.

I've always liked it for the ambiguity.

And the shape captures a simplification of early viking forts: http://www.planetware.com/map/trelleborg-viking-camp-c-1-000...

In that respect, the icon means tourist attraction.

"Worth seeing" is a better translation, thank you.
