    Hiking

    Writer HC Andersen visited Roskilde several times in his life, visiting Postgården at Skomagergade 15. He even wrote a story about Postgården's "One night in Roskilde".

    Now there is a lasting memory of the author, his travels and one of his stories: Happiness Galocher in the form of a bank with cane, a travel bag and a high hat on the bench, and Happiness Galocher in front of the sidewalk.

    The idea for the work comes from the local historian Lotte Fang.
    Artist is Thor Larsen.
    The bank is next to number 15 in Skomagergade.
