This funny fountain is located in the center of Sturovo square. Vodnik (water sprite) is getting out of the well and spitting water, being surprised where he appeared. The water streams are adjusted in such a way that it looks like it is jumping from one place to another. As the Vodnik is a favorite character of Czech and Slovak fairytales, usually kind and positive one, the fountain is loved by kids. But during my stay in Trencin I saw plenty of adults enjoying it and having a lot of fun too. I also liked it.
