Hundikuristiku (Hundikuristik)

Lit. wolf gulch. Double waterfall of variable height (see Joa), the first 1.5 m, the second 4, in Kadriorg. The name is from German romantic composer Carl Maria von Weber’s opera Der Freischütz, involving a feverish plot to cast a magic bullet and win a competition and thus fair Agathe’s hand. In the dead of night, egged on by Kaspar whose soul is about to be sold to the Devil and hopes to find his stooge (“He’s behind you!”), foolish oh so foolish Max resolves to go to the Wolfsschlucht, or wolf’s gulch / gorge / ravine and, and... end of Act 1. Sadly, the waterfall is often dry.
