Hans Hulehånd

A Thomas Dambo-Trold in Odense

The story behind Hans Hulehånd

Hans Hulehånd came to life during "Den Store Troldefolkefest", which 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 because of the pandemic, Thomas flew to Denmark, where the troll festival took shape thanks to lots of volunteer work from locals across Denmark.
