About

Take a stroll through De Schorre Park in Boom, Belgium, to search for giant friendly trolls in the forest. There are seven trolls hidden in this forest waiting to be found.

Made out of recycled wood, these statues range in height from seven to 18 meters tall. They're the work of Danish recycling artist Thomas Dambo, who has created incredible outdoor sculptures around the world, and Belgium is one of those lucky places. If you want to jump into a magical world where trolls roam the land, then this is the go-to place to visit in Belgium.
