History
The first troll dolls were placed on the bridge in the early 2000s by a mom as a way to surprise her children, who would greet an imaginary troll every time they drove under it. Unknown people added a toy goat and a painting of trolls. Slowly, additional trolls were added to the bridge. Occasionally, some are stolen and others are added, resulting in differing amounts of trolls at different times.[3][4]
