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.
