Wet and Wild: Fifteen Fabulous Fountains
“Three coins in a fountain …” goes the famous song, and anyone who’s ever visited Rome, Paris, or just about any other ancient city knows that if you tried to fill each fountain in town, you’d end up a beggar. On your next trip abroad, these amazing feats of aqua-tecture are worth tossing a few pennies into.
Swarovski Kristallwelten, Wattens, Austria
The famous crystal company runs a “theme park” at the site of its original glass-cutting factory in Wattens, Austria. Camouflaging the entrance is a giant head carved out of the hillside, with a fountain emerging from the mouth. The Crystal Worlds attraction includes art exhibits about and containing Swarovski crystals, and a Swarovski retail store, of course. Photo source: Wikimedia Commons
