The Gefion fountain in Copenhagen shows the statue of the goddess Gefion from Germanic mythology, who is said to have turned her four sons into oxen. The legend says that the ox team tore a large hole in the middle of Sweden while ploughing and hurled the land mass into the Baltic Sea. The hole in Sweden today forms Lake Vänern. The island of Zealand is said to have emerged from the piece of land that was torn out.

The Gefion Fountain (Danish: Gefionspringvandet) is a large fountain in Copenhagen's harbor. It is the largest monument in Copenhagen and is used as a wishing well.
The group of figures depicts Gefion, the Aesir virgin from Germanic mythology, and her sons, transformed into bulls, plowing a furrow between the islands of Zealand and Sweden, thus separating Zealand from the mainland. The fountain is located at Nordre Toldbod, near Copenhagen Castle and Langelinie.
