North Carolina just dropped a wild road-trip idea — 21 giant trolls across 4 cities.
If your crew is planning to check them out together, VanGo CLT has the 12-passenger comfort to make it a full adventure.
North Carolina’s 21 Giant Trolls Road Trip takes you to see that state's 21 giant trolls at four magical stops! Each stop along this route is filled with massive wooden trolls…many built by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. You start at Dix Park in Raleigh, where five towering trolls hide in the fields and trees. In Charlotte, the River District features one mighty troll watching over the area. At Eno River Farm, three trolls bring a fun surprise to the trails and berry fields. Your trip ends in Asheville at the North Carolina Arboretum, the brand new home to twelve trolls tucked into the gardens, forest paths, and open spaces among the gardens here...made even more magical as six of the twelve can be found among the stunning Christmas lights display at the gardens!
