The trick fountains Fir-Trees, Water feature at Peterhof Palace, Russia
The Fir-Trees fountain consists of multiple water jets arranged to resemble natural evergreen shapes, creating patterns through precise hydraulic mechanisms at Peterhof Palace.
During the early 1700s, Peter the Great commissioned this fountain as part of his grand vision for Peterhof Palace, reflecting European garden design influences.
The fountain demonstrates Russian engineering skills through its water system that operates without pumps, using natural pressure from elevated water reservoirs.
The fountain operates from May through October, with shows occurring every day between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM, allowing visitors to experience the water displays.
The water jets spring unexpectedly from grass-covered mounds, catching visitors by surprise as they walk through the garden paths.
