The story behind Stifinder Stig
The troll Stifinder Stig hides by Svanholm Sø. His compass is missing a needle, as he follows his heart and never gets lost.
Stifinder Stig is not like the other trolls – he doesn't follow a map or a set direction, but trusts his heart and instincts to find his way. Instead of standing upright, he crawls on all fours, always on the lookout for new adventures and secret paths in nature.
His compass lacks a needle because he doesn't need one – he knows that the best path is the one you make yourself.
Created by Thomas Dambo in Sønder Felding and built from recycled wood with help from local volunteers, Stifinder Stig is a reminder to enjoy the journey rather than just the destination.
