Track down four of Thomas Dambo’s wooden giants on a guided e-bike loop through Greater Copenhagen. This 3.5-hour tour mixes paved cycleways, gravel tracks and shoreline views while showcasing sustainable public art and Zealand’s gentle post-glacial landscapes.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll out from a quiet Copenhagen edge with the e-bike's soft whir under your feet and the northern wind nudging you east — reeds along the coast lean in as if to point the way. Over three-and-a-half hours you'll follow bike lanes, park paths and compact dirt, hunting for four wooden behemoths: Sleeping Louis, Little Tilde, Thomas on the Mountain and Teddy Friendly. Each giant waits in landscapes chosen for views, shelter and the raw textures of reclaimed wood.

History
Thomas Dambo’s giants are part of a larger movement in Denmark to reuse materials and bring public art into green spaces; Zealand’s landscape was shaped by glacial moraines and later urban reclamation.
Conservation
The sculptures are built from recycled wood and rely on visitor stewardship; follow leave-no-trace principles and stay on marked paths to protect habitats.

Charge and carry a power bank
E-bikes conserve battery but GPS navigation and photos drain phones — bring a power bank to avoid mid-route problems.
Fit your helmet properly
Although a Livall smart helmet is provided, take a moment to adjust straps and fit for safety and comfort.
Dress for variable conditions
Layers work best — mornings can be cool and wind off the water can make short shelterless stretches chilly.
Respect the sculptures and sites
These pieces are made from reclaimed wood; avoid climbing and pack out any trash to protect the art and habitat.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Good traction on pedals and protection on brief off-pavement sections.
Light waterproof shell
Wind and rain can come up quickly along coastal stretches; a packable shell keeps you riding.
fall
Reusable water bottle or hydration bladder
Organizers provide bottled water, but having your own refillable bottle saves waste and keeps you hydrated.
summer
Phone with charger or power bank
For navigation, photos and emergency contact — long e-bike routes can run down batteries fast.
