The story behind Runde Rie
Runde Rie came to life during "Den Store Troldefolkefest", a project born out of Covid-19. Thomas Dambo was originally supposed to build 25 trolls around the world, but due to the pandemic, he returned to Denmark, where the troll festival took shape with the help of numerous local volunteers across Denmark.
