Vodnjak panonskega tipa z dvižnim mehanizmom "čapljo" najdemo na področju od Dunaja do Romunije. V krajih pod Donačko goro so takšne vodnjake lahko postavili na kmetijah v nižinskih predelih, kjer so že po nekaj metrih kopanja naleteli na podtalnico. Zajemanje vode je zaradi kamna na vzvodu, ki deluje kot protiutež, zelo enostavno. Leseno vedro pa ima varnostni zatič, da se med dviganjem ne prevrne. The subpannonian type of a well with a lifting mechanism called "čaplja" can be found in the area expanding from Vienna to Romania. In the villages underneath the mountain Donačka gora these types of wells could be built at farms in the low-lying areas, where they came upon water after only a few meters of digging. With a stone, functioning as a counterpoise, fixed to the lever, lifting up a bucketful of water was fairly easy. The wooden bucket has a bung which is there to make sure that the water doesn't spill while its being pulled up. All rights of this site are reserved. Author: Boštjan Burger, July 2005
