7 Fairytale Places in Copenhagen
2. Close to the Little Mermaid, there is the Gefion Fountain, ready to make wishes come true.
And, as the traveler was steps away from the Churchill Park, the next stop was the famous fountain located here: the Gefion Fountain. It’s the biggest monument in the city, inspired by an old, northern legend. It was created in honor of the 50 years anniversary of the Carlsberg brewery and it depicts Gefion, a Norse goddess. Featuring the powerful, mythological figure driving a group of animals, the monument’s magnificence left our traveler speechless.
Nowadays, the Gefion Fountain is also known as a wishing well place; therefore, the traveler threw some change in the water and made a wish: for this trip to continue being as fascinating as it had been so far.
Before proceeding to the next stop, the traveler took a peaceful walk on a nearby alley that was carefully fenced with Japanese cherry trees (sakura). These trees bloom during the spring, painting the whole landscape and spreading their astounding scent all over.
