“Lykkens Galocher” – that’s what they’re called. Lykkens Galocher. The Shoes of Luck. Right here, in front of you, is a bronze sculpture of a bench – a bench dedicated to a famous Danish tale. Can you guess which one? You’re in Roskilde, the city where Hans Christian Andersen himself once roamed. See, right there, on the bench, are a suitcase, a walking stick, and a hat. Who could they belong to? Yes! The suitcase, the stick, and the hat are clues to the identity of the bench and its story. This bench is dedicated to the tale “Lykkens Galocher”. The story is all about a pair of magical shoes that can transport you to any place in the world, at any time. In the story, the Shoes of Luck take their wearer on incredible journeys but don’t always bring them happiness. It’s a tale of adventure, magic, and the search for happiness. Now imagine yourself stepping into the shoes of the characters in the story. What adventures would you have? Where would you go? Would the shoes bring you luck? Look around, there’s something more to see – a bronze sculpture of the shoes. Do you want to try putting on the shoes yourself and see what happens?
