Tuhala Witch Well

9.01.04. Enne aastavahetust Nõiakaev veel kees. Peale nõiakaevu ülekeemist tuli suur külm. kaev jäi rahulikuks, turistid mitte. Käisime meiegi taganenud veest jäänud jäämaastikku tuhala karstialal vaatamas 4. jaanuaril.Tuhala Witch Well is usually like any other well, but sometimes, if there is wet season and water level is high, this well becomes like artesian well, flooding out water what comes from underground Tuhala River.

This happened now, and will probably continue several days.

A legend says that the Witch Well will boil when Tuhala witches are whisking.

Reisijutud.com saw this well flooding 4 years ago, at Christmas Time. Then it flooded in the beginning of 2005 and right now. See MeieTV video below.
