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 Little Mermaid sculpture is made of bronze and granite stone and is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale about the mermaid who sacrifices everything to be united with the young, beautiful prince on land. Every morning and every evening she rises from the seabed and longs for the prince from her rock in the water. The story of the Little Mermaid is known to many children today not only from Hans Christian Andersen's original version, but also from Disney's version of the same name.

Beautiful fountain. It was the start of my tour of Copenhagen.

One cannot help but think of Copenhagen without the Little Mermaid coming to mind.... she remains there... motionless, with a sad and melancholic expression, aware of her imminent and dramatic end. Or because it remains there alone on that small rock at the mercy of thousands of tourists who immortalize it without shame... including myself!!! Magical!

The landmark of Copenhagen. And it is much smaller than expected.

The Gefion Fountain is a large fountain in Copenhagen Harbour. It is the largest monument in Copenhagen and is used as a wishing well. The group of figures shows Gefion, the Aesir virgin from Germanic mythology, and her sons, who have been transformed into bulls, who are using a plow to plow a furrow between the island of Zealand and Sweden, thus separating Zealand from the mainland.

We were there at exactly the right time and were able to follow the changing of the guard.

Wonderful castle, definitely visit from the inside. The crown jewels are in the cellar vault!
