WITCH WELL

WITCH WELLThe Tuhala Witch Well in the Tuhala karst area is in

reality a karst spring that starts gushing forth during the

spring floods when the underground Tuhala River can

no longer carry on all the water quickly enough. The

well is only 2.5 m deep, but under pressure from the

river water it can spurt water up to half a metre. A

legend says that the Witch Well will boil when the

Tuhala witches are whisking. The former Tuhala parish

was popularly called the Witch parish.
