Find Pil Mulle Fuglemor
Mulle Fuglemor is hiding in a green area in Svendborg NØ, and her exact location isn't clearly signposted. Therefore, the visit is designed as a small voyage of discovery, where you follow the route through the area and let the birdhouses guide your way.
This makes the trip ideal for both children and adults looking to combine fresh air, nature, art, and a little treasure hunt. Mulle Fuglemor is around five metres tall and crafted from recycled wood, just as Thomas Dambo's trolls are famous for.
You can find the area where Mulle Fuglemor is hiding on our explore map in the app.
The story behind Mulle Fuglemor
Mulle Fuglemor was created by artist Thomas Dambo in collaboration with Svendborg Kommune, Sydfyns Almene Boliger, Den Boligsociale Helhedsplan, as well as local volunteers and residents.
The troll is part of a larger development project in Svendborg NØ, aiming to strengthen the area, foster community spirit, and invite both locals and visitors to explore the neighbourhood.
Along the trail, you'll find the many birdhouses that turn the outing into far more than just a visit to a troll. Here, art, nature, and community engagement blend into one wonderful experience.
