The first question comes in our
mind why the water pouring out from this tree in Montenegro? A unique natural phenomenal
video shared by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in a village named “Dinoša”,
located in southeastern Montenegro a small country on the Adriatic coast.
The mulberry tree standing in the
meadow there that turns into a fountain whenever it rains heavy. From a hollow
on the tree trunk water can be seen gushing abundantly. Although, actually, the
rains had flooded the underground springs and the extra pressure formed pushed
water up the tree trunk through cracks or hollows on the trunk, until it poured
out of a hole a few feet above the ground.
In the video, one can easily see,
that ground is quite sloppy signifying the amount of groundwater there is in
the soil and below. You can also see water gurgling out of other holes in the
meadow. The entire area is flowing like a small stream. As per locals, this
natural wonder is happening from more than 30 years or so. The estimated life
of tree is more than 125 years old. Whereas Montenegro’s tree fountain is certainly
unique, it isn’t the only example of water gushing out of the ground after
rains.
In the Estonian village of
Tuhala, there is an exclusive well that starts spouting water after a heavy
downpour. The well happens to be placed just over an underground river. Thus, after
heavy rain water floods the river, water pressure builds to the point that it
shoots up out of the well, every so often up to half a meter high. This cycle continues
last for a few days. Therefore, during this time, more than 105 liters of water
can flow out every second. The local peoples says, that is the witches of
Tuhala gather in the sauna underground and beats each other vigorously with
birch branches causing water to pour out on the surface. They call it the
Witch’s Well.
