Welcome Leo the Enlightened! Somewhere hidden in the Tennessee Smokies sits a calm and peaceful 20 foot troll. The creation comes from Danish sculptor Thomas Dambo, who has built several other trolls scattered throughout the world. Leo, commissioned by Blackberry Mountain, is on private property on a new resort in the Walland area. Please remember do not trespass but do let us know if you see Leo from a distance!
