10 Giant Trolls Hiding in Forests, Lakes and Ruins
Towering from forests, peeking out of lakes, or lounging beneath the stars — Thomas Dambo’s trolls have become some of the most beloved public sculptures on Earth. Built entirely from recycled wood and often hidden in remote landscapes, these sculptures invite both wonder and adventure. From Jutland’s woodland giants to a lakeside troll in Minnesota measuring 13 meters high, here are 10 of the most enchanting trolls you can find around the world.
🔗 Follow Thomas Dambo on Instagram
1. Troll Hannes — De Schorre, Boom, Belgium
Built into the corner of a crumbling brick structure, this giant troll appears mid-rest, its wooden limbs draped over the edge of the building. With a shaggy beard and deep-set eyes, it blends into the surrounding forest, as if emerging from the ruins.
2. Santi Ikto — Mandurah, Western Australia
Captured with the Milky Way blazing above, this wooden troll sits cross-legged in the sand, arms outstretched in awe. The moment merges sculpture with sky, turning the nocturnal landscape into a scene of cosmic wonder.
3. Helle Haltben — Jutland, Denmark
This wide-eyed troll crawls through a forest clearing, its playful grin and giant hands inviting visitors to come closer. With wooden braids and a necklace made from natural materials, it radiates childlike energy.
4. Jeppe Væktæppe — Jutland, Denmark
Hidden deep among trees, this troll grips a tree trunk with one hand, mid-lunge as if about to leap out from the undergrowth. Its spiky wooden hair and sharp expression give it a mischievous charm.
5. Little Nis — Bernheim Forest, Kentucky, USA
Leaning down to touch the water’s surface, this snowy scene captures a moment of peaceful stillness. The troll appears curious and gentle, with frost lightly dusting its wooden frame and the surrounding trees.
6. Lotte Lokkeklokke — Jutland, Denmark
Sitting comfortably with a massive bell at her side, this troll looks like a guardian of the forest. Shingled wood scales and long arms give her a sturdy, watchful presence.
7. Mama Mimi — Wilson, Wyoming, USA
Stretching out across a pond, this troll doubles as a bridge — with children walking across her wooden limbs. With a thoughtful expression, she rests her chin on one hand while gazing at the water.
8. Long Leif — Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, USA
Standing at 13 meters tall, Long Leif is the tallest troll ever made by Dambo. Towering above a child in red, this friendly giant smiles down with big ears and playful teeth, embodying both strength and joy.
9. Stifinder Stig — Jutland, Denmark
Crouched beneath a colorful patchwork tent held up by his outstretched arms, this troll looks like he’s inviting visitors into a secret hideaway. Bright fabrics and playful pose make it one of the most interactive trolls.
10. Mama Rosa — Wauwatosa, USA
Standing on a sandy hill at dusk, this troll gently holds a bundle of glowing streetlamps. Her soft expression and warm light give her a welcoming presence as she watches over the landscape near the woods.🌍 Want to find a troll near you? Explore them all on the official Troll Map.

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.
By Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia.
In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.
His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.
Sasha Korban: Created this mural a few days ago in Kyiv, and at that time nearby were battles for the liberation of Bucha and Irpin took place
Sasha Korban: “The day will come, when the war is over… To the ones who will see their beloved ones again and the ones who will not.”
Don’t forget to check out more of Sasha Korban’s incredible work by visiting Instagram. Stay updated on his latest projects and street art creations by following his online presence.

Break the Circle
Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.

Finding a good balance in life
Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds

True Hope
Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.

Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there

Mural by Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony.

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.
In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.
His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.
Sasha Korban: “The day will come, when the war is over… To the ones who will see their beloved ones again and the ones who will not.”

Break the Circle
Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.

Tbilisi, Georgia.
True Hope
Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.
Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live!

Funny Signs (15 Photos)
Some public signs tell you where to go or what to do. These ones? They play with expectations. From witty chalkboards and absurd flyers to poetic instructions and signs that lead nowhere, these 15 messages prove that a little humor or mystery goes a long way in urban spaces.
More: Playing with statues (25 photos)
1. Take What You Need
A simple handwritten flyer reads “Love.” with an invitation: “(Take as much love as you need).” The tear-off tabs just say “LOVE.”
2. Lost My Brain
A satirical lost-and-found flyer features a red anatomical brain diagram and a caption: “Please don’t contact me, I’m happy.”
3. Kingdoms to Countries
On a pub chalkboard: “A long time ago we had Empires run by Emperors. Then we had Kingdoms run by Kings. Now we have Countries…”
4. Accompanied by an Adult
The sign boldly says: “All Americans must be accompanied by an adult.” No context. No problem.
5. Sleeping Bat Warning
Sign on a bookshop door says “Please open the door carefully as there is a bat sleeping on it,” with a real bat sleeping by the doorframe.About it: A Sleeping Bat at The Next Page Bookshop in Calgary Becomes an Unlikely Star
6. Showbiz Ruined Me — By Pao in Rome, Italy
A sculpture of SpongeBob looks heartbroken, sitting on the street with a cardboard sign: “Showbiz ruined me.”
7. Dog Library
A wooden sign beneath a tree offers: “Dog Library. Take a stick. Leave a stick.” The pile of branches says it all.
8. Have You Seen This Dog?
Two dog photos and the words: “Have you seen this dog?” Below: “Now you have. Have a GOOD day.” The tear-tabs? “Have a great day.”
9. Please Do Not Smile — New York City Subway, USA
Posted at 14th Street Station: “Please do not smile at strangers.” Whether real or a prank, it’s coldly hilarious.
10. Private Sign
Painted in bold white letters: “PRIVATE SIGN — DO NOT READ.” Naturally, it’s irresistible.
11. The Secret of Happiness
Painted across a long building, the message begins: “The secret of happiness is t—” and then the rest has peeled away.
12. Reboot Universe
At first glance, a standard pedestrian crossing button. But instead of “PUSH TO CROSS,” it reads: “REBOOT UNIVERSE.”
13. Beware of Smartphone Zombies
A modern caution sign warns: “BEWARE OF SMARTPHONE ZOMBIES,” with silhouettes of people walking while staring at their phones.
14. No Don Quixote
A traffic-style sign bans a rider on a horse with a lance—clearly referencing Don Quixote. Behind it: a real windmill.
15. Great Wheat Sharks — Anne Melady in Ontario, Canada
Shark fins appear to slice through a golden wheat field along Highway 8 west of Dublin, Ontario. Installed by 75-year-old landowner and retired nurse Anne Melady, the piece is titled Great Wheat Sharks. She created it to lighten the mood for drivers during the pandemic and continues the now-local tradition with humor and simplicity.More photos and about it: Please do not feed the Great Wheat Sharks
These clever, funny, or absurd signs cut through the usual noise of the city. Whether they make you laugh, pause, or question reality for a moment, they prove that small public interventions can leave a lasting impact—without saying much at all.
