Mooie fontein om te bewonderen vanaf één van de vele terrassen eromheen.

Die Legende dahinter ist wild: Der Riese verlangte von vorbeifahrenden Schiffern Zoll – wer sich weigerte, dem hieb er die Hand ab. Brabo besiegte ihn, schnitt ihm die eigene Hand ab und warf sie in den Fluss. Angeblich stammt so auch der Name Antwerpen – von „hand werpen“ (Hand werfen). Der Brunnen selbst ist kunstvoll, lebendig und umgeben von Wasserspielen – besonders schön bei Sonnenschein, wenn das Wasser in der Luft glitzert und Touristen rundherum staunen oder fotografieren.
