According to Estonian folklore, the Witches’ Well starts boiling when the Tuhala witches whisper!<\/p>\n

This temporary spring in the Nabala-Tuhala Nature Reserve, on the underground river of the Tuhala karst area, starts to overflow and “boil” 100 liters per second. The Witch’s Well’s “boiling” can usually be seen during spring floods, but the exact timing depends on the amount of precipitation and snowmelt. It is one of the most unique natural phenomena in Europe<\/strong>! This primeval sight can be seen from one day to three weeks.<\/p>\n

The people chose the Tuhala Witches’ Well as the Estonian Wonder of 2012. Come to the Tuhala Witches’ Well and feel the power of nature!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":513820,"parent":0,"template":"","visitestonia-kategooria":[33780,33785],"class_list":["post-603255","visitestonia","type-visitestonia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","visitestonia-kategooria-nature-and-activities","visitestonia-kategooria-nature"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTuhala Witch's Well | Visit Harju<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/visitharju.ee\/en\/tuhala-witchs-well\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tuhala Witch's Well | Visit Harju\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"According to Estonian folklore, the Witches’ Well starts boiling when the Tuhala witches whisper!
