Situated in the heart of Interlaken, the Fontänenfeld-Brunnen is an unconventional attraction that invites visitor interaction. Unlike traditional decorative fountains, this installation is known for its sound-sensitive triggers; visitors claim that shouting 'Heidi' sounds can activate the water jets. It also follows a daily schedule, with a notable activation occurring around 13:55. While it provides a moment of amusement, visitors are advised to keep a safe distance from the jets, as they can trigger suddenly and the water is not suitable for drinking.

Highlights

  • Interactive water jets activated by sound.

  • Daily scheduled activation at 13:55.

  • Located centrally in Interlaken.

  • Unique 'Heidi' sound activation quirk.

Reviews

2.2
Not great5 reviews

Reviews for Fontänenfeld-Brunnen describe a polarizing and somewhat unpredictable experience. Visitors frequently mention that the fountain has a scheduled activation time at 13:55, but it is also famously triggered by loud 'Heidi' sounds. Several reviewers warn that the water jets can turn on suddenly without warning, which may catch people off guard if they are standing too close. There are specific safety warnings against walking on the fountain's surface due to these sudden bursts. Additionally, the water is confirmed to be non-drinkable by multiple users. Overall, while the interactive element is unique, the low rating reflects safety concerns and the potential for getting unexpectedly wet.
