Гатчинские Гейзеры
Springs of unknown origin beat up from under the ground, located in the forest thickets near the village of Korpikovo in Gatchina district. In summer, in dry weather, you can get very close to them, while in winter, rising and falling water streams freeze up with bizarre figures, which are interesting to look at.
