Stifinder Stig

Go find the troll

At Svanholm Lake in Sdr. Felding, an impressive troll has been built by artist Thomas Dambo and local volunteers.

The troll, which gazes out towards the lake, differs from many of Dambo's previous sculptures by not standing upright but instead crawling on its limbs. The construction is unique, as the troll is freely suspended and only supported in a few places, which has challenged the creative team behind it.

The name "Stig Findersti" is inspired by the path that runs around the lake, and the project has been a joint effort, with materials transported on a raft across the lake. The troll is made from recycled wood, as part of Dambo's mission to create art from discarded materials. Dambo, who has built trolls around the world, hopes visitors will take the time to find his hidden creatures and experience the beauty of nature on their journey.
