Cyril's Spring

Źródło Cyryla (Cyril's Spring) is a water intake in Kalinowice Górne, at the south-western edge of the Strzelin Hills in the Sudetes.

A gazebo from 1811

In 1811 a forester named Roesner built a gazebo by the spring, which quickly became a popular destination for walks for the residents of nearby Ziębice. A hundred years later, in 1913, a restaurant was built here.

Legend of the monastery

A local legend says that a monastery once stood on this spot, and the monks living there baptised the local population with water from the spring.

Status today

Źródło Cyryla is today promoted as a tourist attraction by the Strzelin Hills Society.
