Runde Rie – Thomas Dambo’s wooden troll by Lynghøjsøerne

Runde Rie is one of artist Thomas Dambo’s giant wooden trolls. She was built in 2020 as part of the project Den Store Troldefest (The Great Troll Festival) and has since had her home by Lynghøjsøerne in Roskilde. Here she sits at the water’s edge with a stick and a rope, as if she were fishing in the lake.

The walk to Runde Rie leads through the natural area around Lynghøjsøerne, making the hunt for the giant troll part of the experience. The visit can be combined with a walk or a break by the lakes.

When Runde Rie comes into view, she sits right beside one of the Lynghøjsøerne lakes. Her position and fishing pose help connect the artwork with the surrounding landscape and give children and adults the chance to experience Thomas Dambo’s art in the middle of nature.
