What lurks just off the Holbæk motorway in Roskilde? It’s Runde Rie, a whimsical wooden troll crafted by the renowned recycling artist, Thomas Dambo. Runde Rie isn’t just any sculpture. He’s a testament to Dambo’s vision of a world where trash transforms into treasure. Runde Rie was born during “Den Store Troldefolkefest” (The Great Troll Folk Fest), a project sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic. When international travel became impossible, Dambo returned to Denmark. He rallied locals, harnessing their volunteer spirit to create a whimsical band of trolls scattered across the Danish landscape. Runde Rie is part of this unique family. He stands as a symbol of resilience, community, and the magic that can emerge from challenging times. He invites you to explore, not just the sculpture itself, but the story behind it. Runde Rie is a piece of a larger “troll hunt,” a delightful activity that encourages families and adventurers to explore the natural beauty of Denmark while discovering these hidden gems. So, next time you’re near Roskilde, take a detour. Discover Runde Rie, the friendly troll waiting just off the Holbæk motorway.
