    Hiking

    The fountain monument was designed in 1899 by Joseph Hammerschmidt and depicts Triton, the sea god from Greek mythology, sitting on a hippopotamus that spouts a huge fountain. The original title "Der Besucher" (The Visitor) became "Jrönen Jong" (Green Boy) in popular parlance due to the constant algae formation on the figure. This appearance was classified as a protected monument in 1998, so the green patina of the figure is to be preserved and must not be destroyed by cleaning.
