Geyser

Natural object

The mineral water geyser in Vuchkove is located on the bank of a mountain stream in the Petrovets tract at the entrance to Mizhhirya from the Khust side.

The water in the spring is salty, with a high content of iron, which is visible from the red-yellow-hot color of the surrounding stones.

Previously, the geyser beat upwards with a free 7-meter fountain with a constant frequency 4 times a day. In Soviet times, when the sanatorium was founded, it was enclosed in a pipe, the main flow was diverted to the river.

Currently, the geyser is again erupting vertically upward with a fountain 5-7 meters high. The periodicity of eruptions can vary from 20 minutes to several hours (on average every two hours). The duration of the eruption is about 10 minutes.

On the other side of the river there is a spring with delicious iron mineral water - "kvas".

At the entrance to the tract is a bee farm, on the territory of which the only bee monument in Europe is installed. It was here in the 1960s that the frost-resistant species of the Carpathian bee was bred.
