1 Unterwassergeysir

Any help greatly appreciated.

Bjørn Anthun Aug 14, 2005:
An Unterwassergeysir is probably the same construction - just underwater (>Unterwasser), which doesn't "boil over" the surface of the water.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 14, 2005:
Perhaps the Unterwassergeysir is discontinuous and the Brodelberg is continuous?
Non-ProZ.com Aug 14, 2005:
Yes, I think you could be right but it also looks like an "Unterwassergeysir".
Bjørn Anthun Aug 14, 2005:
Bodensprudler are underwater jets for the soles of the feet and ankles. If you look at the picture of the outdoor pool from the link I posted before, you'll see the Brodelberg in the middle of the pool, which kind of does look like a small volcano.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 14, 2005:
Thanks Renate but that is probably the Bodensprudler (my text has one of those in therapy pool). I think it is shaped like a volcano with water bubbling out the top, but just can't find confirmations/pictures of it.
Bjørn Anthun Aug 14, 2005:
Here's a picture, it's kind of like a whirlpool in the middle inside a main swimming pool, where the water bubbles up - http://www.sauna-show.de/A.htm (see Aussenbecken)

I posted this as an addendum to my answer, but just in case you don't see it! http://www.arriba-erlebnisbad.de/baeder/erlebnisbad/index.ph...
Non-ProZ.com Aug 14, 2005:
I don't think its a whirlpool It seems to be above the surface of the water
BrigitteHilgner Aug 14, 2005:
Sounds like a kind of giant whirlpool.

Peer comment(s):
agree Wolf Brosius (X) : something like a boiling fountain
1 hr
agree Bjørn Anthun : I'd call it a "bubbling water fountain" (e.g. Another pool...with a bubbling water fountain in the middle - http://www.resorthoppers.com/ManzanilloPools)
6 hrs
agree Nicole Schnell : "bubbling up" (aufwallen) might describe it even better. What do you think?

Whirlpool Bath

As in a whirlpool bath which uses bubbling water. Very common as an adjunct to a swimming pool.

Brodelberg [Whirlpool Mountain]

It seems to be more of a proper noun than a noun - whereby of course a German audience would understand that it's a "mountain" (maybe slides, a grotto - anyway, a large feature!) of bubbles/jets/swirling water. Maybe you could call it something like "Whirlpool Mountain" - you could also put this in brackets after the German if your text allows.

OK since I have now found a picture (see link), I\'m going to suggest Whirlpool Falls or Whirlpool Cliff.
