About This Spring
## Overview This well-preserved public drinking spring is located near the Czech-Polish border in the Moravian-Silesian region of the Czech Republic, at coordinates 49.971969, 18.152164. The spring features a distinctive brick-built labyrinth surrounding it, designed with a resemblance to the famous Chartres Cathedral labyrinth in France. This combination of a natural water source with a meditative labyrinth walkway makes it a unique and contemplative destination for visitors. Labyrinth designs modeled after the medieval Chartres pattern have long been associated with pilgrimage, reflection, and spiritual practice. The presence of such a labyrinth at this spring suggests it may serve as both a practical water source and a place of quiet contemplation for the local community. The water from this spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals and visitors, though water quality can vary with seasonal and environmental conditions. ## What to Expect Visitors will find a well-maintained spring with a carefully constructed brick labyrinth — a walkable path that echoes the iconic Chartres Cathedral labyrinth design. The labyrinth adds a meditative, almost ceremonial quality to the experience of visiting the spring. The spring is publicly accessible and appears to be maintained by the local community. The brick construction suggests a site that has been cared for and intentionally designed as a point of interest, not just a simple water outlet. As this location sits in the northeastern corner of the Czech Republic (Moravian-Silesian region), the surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills and mixed forests. Visitors exploring the area may also find nearby hiking trails and other natural attractions typical of this border region. If you plan to collect water, bring your own containers. As with any natural spring, water conditions can change, so visitors should exercise their own judgment regarding consumption.
