Hercules Fountain, Augsburg
The Hercules Fountain was completed in 1602. The casts were made by Adriaen de Vries. Along with the Mercury Fountain, it is one of the greatest works the artist ever created. The hero Hercules slays the Hydra, a multi-headed water serpent. Naiads, Tritons, and goose-shrikes frolic on the fountain's pillar.

Great city center, where there is still a lot going on in the evenings on the streets and in the many restaurants and bars. The many historic buildings and their history are really worth a visit.
