    This fountain is an ode to astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort. He thought that a "cloud" of billions of comet-like objects is moving around our solar system. This was a breakthrough in astronomy.

    The Oort cloud was designed by Jean-Michel Othoniel from France.

      The Eleven Cities Tour has been reinvented. These are now “11Fountains”. In 2018, eleven internationally renowned artists decorated the eleven cultural and historical cities of Friesland with unique waterworks. Fog, ice, steam, seawater... each city has its own story. Check out the Eleven Fountains during your Eleven Cities Tour by bike or car. This is also fine without ice.
