Danish folklore is rich with mythical creatures that stretch beyond the famous Little Mermaid character, popularised by H. C. Andersen. The Danish lore is filled with beings such as cannibalistic trolls, treasure-guarding dragons at odds with bulls, the symbolic wild men shown on the royal emblem, and the odd aquatic entity called the ”Sea Bishop”. These mythical beings also occupy Copenhagen’s centre, the city’s busiest touristic area, often appearing as statues, relief sculptures, and architectural artwork.

Despite their presence, most of these creatures remain largely unnoticed by tourists. Now, you have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of these folklore creatures through a self-guided GPS audio journey named HidDenmark Monstour VoiceMap. This guide, once downloaded on your smartphone, will navigate you from Tivoli amusement park, through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange, and towards the city’s canals - all the while unveiling how horrifying tales of bizarre creatures have influenced the nation’s capital.
