That looks like a mineral water well. Could you drink the water? We found a similar looking place in Georgia a few years ago and the water there was perfectly good to drink and very rich in minerals and actually it was naturally carbonated. /Ake

I do not know if anyone risks drinking the water Ake but it is a limestone formation of a hot spring. Behind it was an open air pool where about 30 or more naked men stood or soaked some rubbing white powder over their bodies which I assume was calcium carbonate. Whether that has health properties or relieves skin conditions I do not know. Some were totally covered in it. An extraordinary sight but not one I would dare take a photo to share! I suspect there was a pool for women too.
