Geocache Description:

Bereits im 5 Jahrhundert vor Christi berichtete der Geschichtsschreiber Herodot von dem Naturphänomen der "Pechquellen von Keri".

Früher wurde hier Pech zur Abdichtung von Schiffen gewonnen. Heute kann man auf dem Grund des Quellsees eine schwarze Schicht der zähen Masse erkennen.

---------

Already in the 5th century before Christ, the historian Herodot reported on the geological wonder of the Herodotus springs of Keri.

In the past ships have been sealed up with pitch. Today, on the ground of the Herodotus springs lake, you can see a black covering coat of the toughening mass.
