Journey: Humblebaek – Jaegersborg Forest – Copenhagen suberbs
The morning walk was a random tootle about the town, we found a park and small forest and after a mile, I split off with Ernest and continued to do a gentle 2 mile jog…my running legs definitely need training up again lol.
Parked in the carpark of our first destination you would think we would be first in the queue when it opened at 11 but nope…50+ people were already waiting 🙈 The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is amazing if you like quite surreal video art, it has a nice sculpture garden with a slide, a few immersive experiences and a great art book shop…still it was so busy and a lot of the work was so odd I just didn’t get it, and so I left feeling a bit meh. With hindsight I wish we had checked when if anytime it was quieter.
From there we drove to the Jaegersborg Forest and had a lovely long walk. As we are inching closer to Copenhagen we have both been excited to try and find the Forgotten Giants. These are 6 gorgeous wooden giants made by artist Thomas Dambo and hidden in natural surroundings in the suberbs of Copenhagen. Our first attempt had us trying to pair the artists map with Google to look for clues and we got completely lost…we then realised you can put the giants name into Google and it will take you to the right park and give a clue to general area in which to look. It’s such a good idea as we have visited lovely green spaces we would never have otherwise gone to. So far we have found Teddy Friendly, Oscar under the Bridge, Thomas on the Mountain and Little Tilde. Looking forward to finding the remaining two tomorrow ❤️
