Deep in the Dragør woods near Copenhagen, Bjarke Cirkelsten waits. Bjarke Cirkelsten isn’t just a name. It’s an experience. This whimsical wooden troll, crafted by the Danish artist Thomas Dambo, is more than just a statue. He’s part of a larger-than-life treasure hunt. Bjarke Cirkelsten came to life during “The Great Troll Folk Fest.” This project was born from the ashes of cancelled plans. When the pandemic hit, Thomas Dambo returned to Denmark. There, with the help of local volunteers, he created a magical world of trolls hidden throughout the country. Bjarke Cirkelsten is part of the “Trail of 1000 Trolls” project. He sits nestled in a clearing, surrounded by trees. He seems to be pouring stones, creating an impressive circle of rocks, hence his name “Cirkelsten”, meaning circle stone. Finding him feels like stumbling upon a secret. You might have seen pictures, but seeing Bjarke Cirkelsten with your own eyes is something else. The craftsmanship is incredible. Every detail, from his knobbly knees to his mischievous grin, is a testament to Dambo’s artistry and the community spirit that brought him to life. Remember, the journey to Bjarke Cirkelsten is half the fun. Enjoy the tranquility of the Dragør woods. Breathe in the fresh air. Let the anticipation build. And when you finally find him, take a moment to appreciate the magic. Bjarke Cirkelsten is more than a statue. He’s a reminder of the power of creativity, community, and the hidden wonders waiting to be discovered.
