The tidal fountain at the central bridge. You can see the outlines of Föhr, Amrum, Langeness and Oland. These are the parts that were left over as “waste” from the perspective sculptures.
The Föhr artist Markus Thiessen carved out the North Frisian island world true to contours and scale using a jackhammer and chisel from Namibian granite.
The artist carved two Frisian mythical creature heads out of black and green Hessian diabase stone. You can see the Frisian goblin "Ekke Nekkepenn" and "Ran", Ekke's legendary wife (source: kdwupper.de/foehrer-kuenstler-markus-thiessen.html)

In the first one I only noticed the bubbling fountain.

The outer edge of the fountain shows the mainland coast with the Hindenburg Dam, the neighboring islands of Sylt and Amrum, and in between two Frisian goblin heads that simulate high and low tides in 10 minutes.
