Just south of Copenhagen, you’ll find a mix of bold architecture, contemporary art at ARKEN, and vast nature with beaches, meadows, and forests. Explore hidden wooden giants, great places to eat, enjoy family-friendly beaches, and dive into adventures that blend culture, play, and imagination.

Hunt for the Forgotten Giants

In Copenhagen south lies several of ‘The Forgotten Giants’ – giant wooden sculptures created by artist Thomas Dambo. They are scattered throughout the countryside like an adventurous treasure hunt, where you can explore and find them one by one.
