What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cimbrertyren is recognized as a significant bronze sculpture by Anders Bundgaard, symbolizing strength and Cimbrian heritage. While appreciated for its artistic merit and historical context, some visitors note its location on a busy street can detract from a peaceful viewing experience and lead to it appearing dirty.
"It is an old sculpture if you look it up at Wikipedia it says "The sculpture was created by the famous sculptor Anders Bundgaard, who also created the Gefion Fountain in Copenhagen. The design of the sculpture and pedestal, however, was the work of the architect Alfred Cock-Clausen, who also designed the liquor factory in Aalborg... " it is pretty dirty most of the time because it is positioned in the middel af a very busy street."
