Hundertwasser Österreich-Brunnen, Zell am See
The Austria Fountain is the probably the best-kept secret in Zell am See. Located in the courtyard of the Grand Hotel, this landscape installation is the work of the famous contemporary Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The idea of the fountain was born in 1996 and installed here only in 2003. Hundertwasser dedicated the fountain to the provinces of Austria, where every one of the nine columns represents one particular province. The height of each column expresses the number of inhabitants of each province, and the colors are used in proportion as they are used in each coat of arms. The fountain is worth a visit for its unusual shape and the famous artist behind it.
