There are many miracles in the world that are difficult to explain from a scientific point of view, they cause holy awe among people uninitiated. These include the Bermuda Triangle, UFO, or Bigfoot. But there are such phenomena that are created by the hands of man, but they look completely supernatural. These include a waterfall inside a lake in Portugal.
The beauty and mysteries of Portugal
This country is amazing and beautiful. Its climate is different from the European, and nature is amazing. Thousands of tourists come here to enjoy the local beauties. So, the mountain part resembles a “rock garden” created by nature. During the ice age, boulders of various sizes - from small to huge - remained lying on the slopes in a chaotic manner. Here you understand how omnipotent the forces of nature are. This view is so unusual that the flow of people who want to see it every year only increases.
In addition, Portugal is the kingdom of rivers and lakes, which are filled with clear water from a melted glacier. They are interconnected by multiple streams - both natural and man-made. Such a system of reservoirs allows you to control the water level.
Of course, Portugal has a rich history, which is interesting to those who visit this country. But there is another place of amazing beauty that attracts not only curious tourists, but also lovers of the unknown and supernatural, and even Satanists from around the world.
Lake with a hole
The videos and photos of the waterfall inside the lake in Portugal are literally mesmerizing. On a completely flat water surface of Lake Konchos, suddenly, as if the desire of some unknown force, a whirlpool begins, the diameter of which is about fifty meters. A funnel literally sucks in tons of water. After a short time, it disappears, and the lake again looks like a mirror. Nothing reminds of a past miracle …
Banal guess
Even the videos and photographs of this spectacle are fascinating. Many lovers of mysticism called this a gateway to the underworld or a portal to another world, but the true reason for this phenomenon is much more prosaic. Conchos - a lake with a hole in Portugal - is a technically complex man-made object, the result of human engineering genius. Many ponds are equipped with natural and artificial dams, dams, waterfalls to regulate the water level. Lake Conchos is one of them.
The perforated lake in Portugal is the creation of human hands. A giant funnel is a brilliantly constructed mine spillway. One and a half kilometer tunnel connects two lakes - Konchos and Lagoa Komprida. And the huge hole into which the water escapes is a receiving tank, the diameter of which is 48 m and the depth is 4.6 m.
When the water level in Konchos reaches the limit, the gateway opens and the water goes into the funnel with a noise, creating a whirlpool. This sight does not leave indifferent even those who know the true cause of what is happening. Lake Conchos is an element of a local power station located in the largest Portuguese park of Serra da Estrela.
This amazing hydraulic structure was built back in 1955, but is still successfully operating today, supplying energy to the surroundings.
The power of nature and human genius
The miracle of Portugal - a hole in the lake - over the years of operation was covered with grass and moss, which makes it look like a natural object, and not created by human hands. From this, observing the drain of water takes on some kind of supernatural and slightly sinister hue. Many even endowed this place with a mystical meaning.
