Hiking
The St. George Fountain, dating from 1548, originally stood on Gurzelngasse and was moved to the quieter Kornmarkt (now Börsenplatz) in 1777. The fountain trough is hewn from a single piece of Jura limestone. Above the baluster-like, twisted and fluted column on the canopy capital, with its angels blowing shawms behind mythical creatures, stands the fountain figure by Laurent Perroud from Le Landeron. It depicts St. George in armor, with the dragon, and the king's daughter.
