Located in Tuhala, northern Estonia, Witches’ Well has fascinated locals and tourists for thousands of years.
Founded around 3,000 years ago, Tuhala host one f the most unique natural phenomena in the world, Witches’ Well. Most of the time the 2.5 meters deep well looks totally normal, but after heavy rains it starts spouting up water and floods the entire area. The local population have been blaming this strange occurrence on witches. It’s said they gather in a sauna below the ground and beat each other with birch branches causing a commotion on the surface.Scientists say the bizarre phenomenon occurs when the underground Tuhala River can’t handle the volume of water gathered from rainfalls, but the people of Tuhala don’t want an explanation, they like living in a world surrounded by magic. There are some who claim to have seen burning demons flying over their town, while others still believe in the Estonian God Taara.
Whether you choose to believe that witches are behind the flooding of Witches’ Well, or you believe it’s nothing more than a perfectly explainable natural phenomenon, Witches’ Well remains a must-see attraction of Estonia.
The locals have seen this well flood for years they know exactly where to get replacement windows. After all you can't beat a witch, you can only hold your own, and make the best of it!
