Bernheim Forest Giants

A trio of colossal fairytale troll sculptures—Mama Loumari, Little Nis, and Little Elina—crafted from recycled local wood, bourbon barrel staves, and scrap pallets by Danish artist Thomas Dambo.

The move: Follow the giant yellow wooden footprints along a two-mile woodland loop trail to find pregnant Mama Loumari lounging among the trees in her forest kitchen.
