Gefion Fountain
Monument4.6 · 2 8644.2 · 1 496≈ 22 minFree entry
Copenhagen's largest fountain, unveiled in 1908: the goddess Gefjon drives her four oxen ploughing the island of Zealand, retelling the legend of how Denmark's main island was carved from Sweden. The fountain stands by Churchill Park next to the Kastellet fortress and St Alban's Anglican church. In summer the jets roar; in winter the water is turned off.
