Geyser of Herl'any
Slovakia
In the 1870's, an artesian well was drilled here in pursue of another mineral water source for the expanding spa. The 404.5 meters (1,327 feet) deep probe brought up a strong spring of the mineral water. Now the periodicity of emanation is about 32-34 hours. The water springs for about 20-30 minutes to the height of maximum 20 meters (65 feet). The yield of one eruption is about 600 hl (15,850 gallons) of water.
As this unique natural scene occurs approximately every one and a half days, therefore tourists should enquire by phone at the local authority about the presumed time of its appearance or just simply click on the website link.
The Geyser of Herl'any is a property of cultural and natural heritage which is designed to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
