Pyana river. Nizhniy Novgorod region. Around 500km from Moscow.
River is interesting by shape - total lenght around 436 km, but distance from the mouth to the source just 60 km :)
Many karst caves and sources along this river.

Neat looking place. There are similar fountains in Florida. Is there a reason there are no fish, or was that just coincidental?
 
On the first video you can see (0:35) the shoal of small fishes.
Also I`d seen one photo (not mine) with sturgeon fish on that river :)
I think the clean (and very cold) water near the sources is not the favorite fishes region.
More of it in the anoter places.
