On the way from the city to the Little Mermaid, you come across the Gefion Fountain, a remarkably powerful fountain with a symbolical value for Denmark.
When you arrive at the fountain, you look up at the sculpture of Gefion and her four oxen. The fountain itself is not high, but the way the water flows, gives it more power and makes the statue more convincing. You can almost imagine the power it must have taken Gefion and her oxen to plough the Swedish lands from which they carved Zealand in just one day. Walking up the stairs next to the fountain, you will see small waterfalls, snake heads, and then you come to the higher plateau from which you have a close look to the oxen and the water spraying out of their noses.
