The Six Hidden Giants Of Holland

The massive whimsical “Six Forgotten Giants” forests are right out of a magical legend!

Envisioned and created by imaginative Danish artist Thomas Dambo the sculptures are hidden in western Copenhagen‘s forest. His dream was to create an open-air treasure hunt.

“As humans, we often have a way of choosing the beaten path and the main road. So when the municipalities of west Copenhagen contacted me about a project it seemed natural to make something which could get people out and explore the beautiful nature in the hidden outskirts, which you usually wouldn’t see.”

Using recycled scrap wood, the incredible sculptures were built with the help of locals. They were then intentionally hidden in six of West Copenhagen’s municipalities. Thomas wanted to entice folks of all ages to explore new places they’ve to find the wooden giants.
