The story behind Hanna Halerød
"Den Store Troldefolkefest" is the name of the project that came about due to Covid-19. Thomas Dambo was originally supposed to build 25 trolls around the world, but due to the pandemic, Thomas flew to Denmark, where the troll festival came to life with the help of a great deal of volunteer work from locals across Denmark.
The idea to build a troll in Ravnsholtskov was a local initiative that started in the autumn of 2020, and Hanna Halerød was officially unveiled on Saturday, 8 October 2022.
