One of the most beautiful fountains I have seen recently. You simply have to look at all the figures very closely. So lovingly and detailed designed. Crazy!

The 3 arch bridge is a high bridge built from massive blocks with a cycle path and footpath running underneath. It is a 36 m long and 14 m high stone arch bridge with a 2-track railway line running across it.

The Egerland Fountain was inaugurated on September 3, 2005, on the occasion of the Egerland Day. The octagonal fountain, designed by Egerland artists Hatto and Christoph Zeidler, depicts a typical Egerland peasant wedding on four levels.
