Hugging Olga is a unique wooden sculpture over four meters tall, waiting for visitors deep in the forest near Hódmezővásárhely. The artwork was created by the internationally renowned Danish artist Thomas Dambo, who is known worldwide for his giant “forest dwellers,” inviting people to rediscover nature and reconnect with it with love and curiosity.
The sculpture is made entirely from recycled wood, making it not only visually striking and endearing, but also a powerful symbol of environmental awareness. The piece was created through community collaboration: international experts and local volunteers worked together, making the sculpture a shared artistic, natural, and social experience.
Its location is intentional: it stands along a forest trail, making the visit ideal to combine with a light hike or a family walk. The site is only about 23–27 km from Szeged, in the direction of Hódmezővásárhely, and can also be easily reached by Tram-Train, followed by a short walk.
