Sports / Fitness / Recreation / swimming pool attractions
German term or phrase: Brodelberg
This is included in a list of attractions in an adventure swimming pool. It would help if I knew what this thing looks like. There appears to be one in the Cologne baths.

1 Strömungskanal
8 Unterwassermassagedüsen
4 Unterwasserliegemulden
1 Brodelberg
1 Unterwassergeysir

Any help greatly appreciated.

agree  Wolf Brosius (X): something like a boiling fountain

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?

Brodelberg [Whirlpool Mountain]


Explanation:
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.
