The Gefion Fountain is one of the most scenic beauties of Copenhagen. As the folklore entails, Swedish king Gylfe provided the land to the Norse goddess Gefion. The only condition was that she would get as much land as she could plough overnight. She sought help from her four sons by turning them into oxen. They ploughed so deep that the land was raised and pulled into the sea. This is how the Norse goddess extracted Zealand from Sweden. Today, as you explore the land around you, you will observe that Lake Vännern resembles Zealand’s shape.
