Six trolls, quiet suburbs, big photo moments. The Six Forgotten Giants Trolls Hunt with Minibus is a half-day way to see Thomas Dambo-style wooden sculptures in real nature spots, with short visits and comfortable drives between them. I especially like the small-group minibus setup, and I like that each stop feels unhurried rather than rushed.

The best part for me is how physical-but-manageable it is: easy walking most of the time, with only a few spots that may feel like more effort in wet weather. One drawback to flag up front is the cost: at $129.59 per person you’re paying for convenience and transport, so if you already have a car, the value may feel less obvious.

Key Points Before You Go

• Six wooden giants in six different nature pockets, not one central attraction
• Short site time and frequent car/van transfers, so the day stays light
• Crawl-ins at multiple trolls, including hands and a gaping mouth
• A small maximum group size that keeps the pace calm (up to 8)
• Free admission at each stop, so you’re not paying again on-site
• Comfort extras on board like air conditioning and reported WiFi with some departures

The Minibus Advantage: Why This Hunt Feels Easier

This tour is built for people who want the trolls without the stress of figuring out parking and driving across several suburbs. You’re in a private minibus/van, and the schedule keeps you moving on short hops between locations. In plain terms, it means less time wrestling with directions and more time focusing on the art and the settings.

I also like the group size here. With a maximum of 8 people, you’re not stuck behind a crowd when you want photos or when you’re waiting your turn at a crawl-through feature. One review noted the van was comfortable and air conditioned, and another called out WiFi onboard, which is a nice perk when you’re on the move for a few hours.

The tour also has a built-in rhythm: you’ll spend time at each giant, then get a drive to the next one. That makes it feel like a guided nature stroll with frequent breaks, not a long day of solo wandering.

Timing and Pace: A Calm Half-Day in the Suburbs

The experience runs about 4 hours, starting at 10:00 am and ending back at the same meeting point. Each stop is around 30 minutes, and the driving between most of the trolls is usually short. That matters because the trolls aren’t set up in a single plaza. The route is spread out, so the transfers are part of the “hunt.”

There’s also typically time to reset between sites. One person specifically mentioned a bathroom break between stops, which is a real-world detail that helps when you’re outdoors for part of the morning and early afternoon.

If the weather turns bad, know that the experience is weather dependent. It’s an outdoor day with short walks, so you’ll feel rain or cold more than you would on a fully indoor itinerary.

Stop 1 in Hvidovre: Hill Top Trine and the Avedøresletten View

In Hvidovre, you’ll find Hill Top Trine perched on a small hill. The fun interaction is the one that sells this first stop: you can crawl into the palms of her hands. It’s playful, but it also gives you a “framed view” moment for photos because you’re physically inside the sculpture before you step back out.

From Trine’s spot, you get an outlook over Avedøresletten. That viewpoint is why this stop works even if you’re not trying to crawl into every troll feature. You can pause, orient yourself, and enjoy the fact that you’re not inside Copenhagen anymore.

Trine also has a name connection: she’s named after one of the volunteers who helped with another hidden giant. It’s a small detail, but it adds meaning to what you’re seeing, because these sculptures aren’t mass-produced set pieces. They’re tied to people who built them.

Stop 2 in Rødovre: Sleeping Louis and the Gaping-Mouth Crawl

Sleeping Louis takes you into a more secret-feeling nature pocket in Rødovre. He’s covered in trees and positioned so he feels tucked away, which makes the discovery more satisfying than a sign-and-park situation.

Here, the headline experience is the body interaction. People can crawl into Louis’s gaping mouth, and the sculpture is designed so you can play inside, with at least the option to even rest there for a bit. It’s unusual in the best way: one of those “only in Denmark” moments where the art also becomes the activity.

The downside at this stop is the same as with any crawl-in experience: you’ll want to watch your comfort level if you don’t like enclosed spaces. Also, wear shoes that grip well. Even on short paths, outdoor ground can be uneven.

Stop 3 in Ishøj: Scar Under the Bridge Built from Local Scrap

Scar under the bridge is a different kind of troll stop because it’s rooted in materials and reuse. The sculpture is made from scrapwood sourced from a torn down watermill and broken pallets from local industries. That gives you an instant story: something old got a second life as an artwork you can actually reach.

The name has a human connection too. Scar is named after an artist from Chile who visited Thomas and helped during the build period. That matters because it’s not just “someone made a troll.” It’s a collaboration story—people traveling, helping, building, and leaving something behind in the landscape.

You’ll spend about 30 minutes here, which is long enough to take photos, read the context if it’s available on-site, and still move on without feeling like you’re stuck in one spot too long.

Stop 4 in Vallensbæk: Little Tilde Watching Through the Trees

Little Tilde is located in the Vallensbæk Mose area, an outdoor setting with wild nature and animal life. She watches through the trees on the far side of a small lake, which means you don’t get the full “face-to-face” view right away.

That slow reveal is part of the charm. Instead of immediately seeing everything at once, you catch glimpses at a distance, then get closer as the path opens up. It’s a gentle reminder that you’re doing an outdoor art walk, not a museum corridor.

This is also a stop where pacing matters. If you rush, you’ll miss the best visual moment. If you take your time, it becomes a quieter, more atmospheric troll encounter than the crawl-ins.

Stop 5 in Taastrup: Teddy Friendly at the Water Stream

Teddy friendly is made from local scrapwood, including cut-offs from cut-down local trees that were used for his fur. That’s a detail I really appreciate because it turns the troll’s look into a material clue: the texture and shape come from local wood scraps, so he looks the way he does for a reason.

He’s standing at a water stream, holding out a hand to help people cross. It’s an interactive idea even if you’re not literally walking through water. The sculpture is positioned so you can stage photos like you’re taking a hand at the edge of the stream.

This stop is also a good example of why the minibus helps. You’re moving across suburbs to reach small pockets of nature that you wouldn’t notice on your own without a map and a plan.

Stop 6 in Albertslund: Thomas On The Mountain for Hilltop Views

In Albertslund, Thomas On The Mountain has claimed a hilltop spot with a broad view of the municipality—and it gives you that same “look around” feeling if you join him up there.

The design includes long legs that make the area feel like a natural place to sit. Several people have noted it’s a good spot to relax with friends, and it’s one of the more social-feeling troll moments because you’re not just looking—you’re hanging out on the sculpture’s “seat.”

If you’re visiting on a day with good visibility, this is a strong closing stop. It’s where the art and the outdoors blend: you get the troll in the foreground and the region beyond him.

Price and Value: What $129.59 Buys You

At $129.59 per person, you’re paying for more than six photo stops. You’re buying transportation between multiple locations, a guided flow through the day, and the simplicity of not coordinating a self-made route.

The tour also includes all fees and taxes and private transportation, and it specifically notes that admission at the stops is free. That means you’re not stacking extra costs on top of the booking fee while you’re out there.

Lunch is not included, so plan on a snack break on your own if you need one. For a 4-hour window, many people can handle it with water plus something small, but don’t assume a meal is part of the plan.

If you’re traveling with a car and you love map-based adventures, you might be able to DIY this. But if you want a guided day with a calm pace and minimal hassle, the price starts to make more sense.

What to Bring: Shoes, Water, and Weather Sense

This is an outdoor art walk with short hikes. The walking isn’t described as extreme, but it is still walking, and at least one stop is on a hill. Some locations can involve around 10–15 minutes each way walking from parking, and rainy weather can make that more tiring than it sounds.

My practical packing list:

• Comfortable shoes with grip
• Water (bring it, since it isn’t provided onboard)
• Sunscreen, especially if you’re visiting in warmer months
• A light layer for shade and wind when you’re outside

Also note that you’ll be outside for roughly the whole tour window, so treat it like a morning outdoors plan, not an indoor visit.

Who This Tour Suits Best (And Who Should Rethink It)

This works best if you want a fun mix of art and nature and you like a guided pace. It’s also a nice option for families and solo visitors because the experience is playful and interactive, and the group stays small.

I’d be cautious if you have limited mobility. Even though the walks are generally manageable, there are hills and short walks between areas, and some routes can involve noticeable walking time to reach a troll.

If you’re the type who enjoys short adventures with lots of photo opportunities, this is your kind of day: you’ll crawl into hands, crawl into a mouth, and then end with hilltop views that give you a clean wrap-up.

Should You Book This Six Giants Troll Hunt?

I’d book it if you want an easy, low-stress way to see six wooden giants across multiple suburbs without wasting time figuring out routes. The small-group minibus, free stop admission, and the fact that you get both art interaction and outdoor scenery make it feel like a well-paced half-day.

I’d pass or switch plans if $129.59 per person feels too steep for you, or if you’re sensitive to hills and short outdoor walks. Also, if weather is likely to be rough, keep your expectations flexible since the experience depends on good conditions.
