Meet the TROLLS
Glade Anders is the name of Thomas Dambo's troll number 101. The troll was born in connection with the Scout Camp 2022, which took place in Hedeland Nature Park.
You will find Anders hidden in the forest north of the ski slope and the amphitheater. If you park at the car park at Tranemosevej 8, there is approx. 1 km to go to Glade Anders.
Also find Glade Anders' mother, Månemor
Once you have found Anders, it is not far (approx. 1 km) to his mother, Månemor, who is Thomas Dambo's troll number 100.
She is very well hidden, but you can get tips to find her here.

1000 years ago, the Vikings sailed along the shores of Europe, up rivers and across the open sea throughout the North Atlantic area.
Ships are the essence of the Viking Age. With them, the Scandinavian countries were founded.

Take a train to Copenhagen
Many of our guests visit Copenhagen and travel there by train. There is a long-term parking lot in Roskilde, but it is quite small and often full. We recommend that you go to Høje Taastrup station.
There is plenty of space here and it is free.
