The first is where I actually parked which was in a neighborhood. You might notice on the map I created above that I’ve pinned three parking locations for Oscar. I’d seen photos of him online and he looked pretty cool. With two giants down, it was time to head to one that I was looking forward to the most – Oscar Under The Bridge. If you want to avoid the mud when visiting Hilltop Trine though, you can walk around the mound to the left rather than climbing up to see her. If you’re going searching for The 6 Forgotten Giants, you’ll probably want to have on some good footwear as they’re all in locations where it can get muddy and slippery. If you look carefully, you can see the top of Hilltop Trine’s head poking over the top of the mound. That path leads you to a meadow where you can see a mound to the right. Parking near Hilltop Trineįrom there, it was a short walk up the path to the left of the tree line you can see in the photo below. I parked in a neighborhood which seemed to be as close as you could get by road. My second stop was Hilltop Trine who can be found in Hvidovre. He therefore created Sleeping Louis in such a way that people could sleep inside to have some shelter. In the video, he explains that Sleeping Louis is located in an area where he’d noticed some homeless people had been sleeping. Thomas Dambo has created a video explaining the history of The 6 Forgotten Giants, so I recommend watching that to see how it all came about. At the top of there you’ll find Sleeping Louis. Follow the path along for what’s probably a couple of hundred yards, keeping an eye out for a small path up a mound to your left. Sure enough, off to the left of the parking lot was the start of a 14 mile trail called the West Rampart which is in Rødovre.ĭon’t worry though – you don’t have to walk 14 miles. There was a decent-sized parking lot here and, when looking at the map, it looked like there was a path leading to him. I therefore continued a little further up the road until I saw this sign on my left: Parking lot near Sleeping Louis The thing is, Google Maps initially had me parking a fair distance from him which didn’t provide easy access. I hadn’t been sure where to park, so I just had Google Maps direct me to the giant himself. 1) Sleeping Louisįirst up we have Sleeping Louis. You can visit the giants in any order that you like, but here’s the order in which I visited them as it seemed like the most efficient route. If you’re not seeing the map below and you use a VPN, you might need to turn off the VPN in order for it to be displayed. You can then tap each of the pin-points and have the app give you directions to them. If you click the square in the top right corner of the map on your phone, it’ll open up Google Maps. I’m not at all familiar with these municipalities though, so I’m sure locals could probably tell you a better place to park to get to each of them. I’ve therefore put together this guide for how to find The 6 Forgotten Giants in Copenhagen, Denmark.įirst off, I’ve put together my own map using Google Maps that notes the location of the six trolls (the blue pins), along with what seemed to be the best places to park to access them (the orange pins). The locations of the trolls can be found on Google Maps, but they’re all hidden away off the beaten path. 10 miles by foot + 40 miles by bike would’ve made for some serious leg soreness the next day! That turned out to be a good decision as even though I was driving around, I think I still walked about 10 miles over the course of the day to get to The 6 Forgotten Giants.
