The Tuhala Karst Area, named after the village, lies for the most part in neighbouring Kata village. It has Estonia's largest area of porous karst, with several underground rivers and sinkholes. [3] The karst area is best known for its Witch's Well (also in Kata).

Tuhala Manor

Tuhala Manor was first mentioned in 1468 as Toall. It belonged to several Baltic German families: Tödwen (1468–1517); Delwig (1517 – mid-16th century); Ulrich (?–1663); Wrangell (1663–1693); Mellin (1692–1863); Lilienfeld (1863–1919). The cartographer Ludwig August Mellin was born in the manor. The last main building had two storeys and was built c. 1800. Its early Classical appearance was changed to a more Neoclassical appearance in the 1880s. The manor was burned down during the Revolution of 1905, along with more than 150 manors in Estonia. It was never restored; nowadays only few parts of the walls remain. Some of the outbuildings have been preserved. [4] [5]
