Photo's description:

Tuhala nõiakaev "keemas". Kaev on ajutine karstiallikas Tuhala maastikukaitsealal Tuhala karstiala läbival maa-alusel jõel. Witch's Well (karst spring) in Tuhala (Estonia) is "boiling over". Water erupts for only a short period of time and not every year. It starts to come out from the well when excess water from the Mahtra swamp fills up the underground river and the overflowing river water seeks an escape through the well. According to local legend, the well boils over when the witches of Tuhala make a sauna below the ground and beat each other with birch branches, causing a commotion on the surface. Deutsch: "Hexenbrunnen von Tuhala" (Estland). Wasser bricht aus dem Karstquelle nur für einen kurzen Zeitraum und nicht jedes Jahr. Nach heftigem Regen oder während der Schneeschmelze kommt es (meist im Frühling) zu einem Naturschauspiel: bei starkem Anschwellen des Flusses Tuhala, der hier unterirdisch verläuft, treten bis zu 100 Liter Wasser pro Sekunde aus dem Brunnen heraus. Русский: "Вскипающий" Ведьмин колодец в Тухала (Эстония). Колодец карстовой местности Тухала является своеобразным карстовым источником, который начинает переливаться через край в период весеннего половодия, когда подземная река Тухала не в состоянии достаточно быстро нести свои воды, и ​поэтому заливает все расположенные поблизости карстовые пустоты. Согласно преданию - "Ведьмин колодец" закипает, когда тухалаские ведьмы в нем парятся.
