The famous fountain of ROSHEN

Vinnytsia Fountain ROSHEN Built in the channel of the Southern Bug near the Festival Island. It is unique in that the fountain design is floating. This is the largest floating fountain in Europe.

The uniqueness of the Vinnytsia fountain Roshen is that water is used to it directly from the river, and not from a special pool. So the pumping system is designed to withstand extreme loads. In winter, all the construction can be hidden under the ice. The highest flow reaches 65-70 meters, and the front discharge of water is 140 meters. And all this is accompanied by music, light and laser effects, as well as video projections on a 16×45 meter water screen.
