Tuhala Witch's Well
Tuhala Witch's Well (Estonian: Tuhala nõiakaev) is a karst spring in Kose Parish, Harju County, Estonia that overflows after heavy rains.[1]
In Estonian folklore, it is said to be caused by witches lashing each other underground.[2][1] In 2012 the Tuhala Witch's Well was voted as a "Wonder of Estonia".[3]
