Altijd leuk om te weten:
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.
Among the landmarks of Copenhagen, the Gefion fountain also has a symbolical meaning for Denmark. Designed by Anders Bundgård in 1908, it actually depicts the ancient legend of how Gefyon, a norse goddess, defines the size of Zealand. She was promised the territory she could plow in a night by the Swedish king Gylfe, after which she smartly turned her sons into oxen. Apparently, the legend might be based on the fact that the Swedish lake of Vänern has roughly the shape and size of Zealand.
