Additional Information
The recreation site is situated in the Uhaku karst region. The Erra River disappears in the karst region and runs as a subterranean river up to the Purtse River valley where it opens as springs. The water flow of the subterranean river is up to 1,300 litres per second, the total water flow of the springs is only 300 litres per second.
The Erra River bed has a number of sinkholes, of which Suurhaud (‘Grand Grave’) is the largest. During inundation, when Suurhaud sinkhole floods over, a 1.5 m high Uhaku waterfall is formed, flowing along the Erra River bed to the Purtse River.
