\nWhile it\u2019s uncommon for water to surge from living trees, this extraordinary phenomenon has a logical explanation. The meadow where the mulberry tree stands is rich with underground springs that flood during intense rainfalls. The increased pressure from the flooding forces water up through the hollow trunk of the tree and out through a hole situated a few feet above the ground.<\/p>\n
\nA similar occurrence can be observed in the Estonian town of Tuhala, where water flows from an old well known as the Witch’s Well. However, while the locals in Tuhala attribute the phenomenon to a legend of witches clashing with birch branches and creating disturbances on the surface, the residents of Dino\u0161a simply regard it as a rare and fascinating natural occurrence.<\/p>\n
