About

In the village of Dinoša, not far from Montenegro's capital Podgorica, stands a century-old mulberry tree that has been described as a miracle because of the waterfall that occasionally bursts from its trunk.

It is believed that there exist a number of underground springs in the village, from which water may overflow after a heavy rain especially in spring and autumn. When this happens, the pressure often sends the groundwater up the cavity inside the mulberry tree, which then gushes out from a hole in the trunk.

The phenomenon has been recorded since the 1990s. Thanks to this unusual feature, the Dinoša mulberry tree has become one of the best-known individual trees in Montenegro.
