A gem in the quarter

Designed by the sculptor Georg Grasegger, the fountain playfully depicts a boy riding a fish; below, four spouts gush water. Donated by a bank, the sandstone fountain remains a charming detail and meeting point in the residential district of Zollstock – a delightful destination off the tourist trail.
