Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Bohemia
Romantic place situated on the edge of the forested Gránické valley. In the shadow of the old lime trees can be found a source of the fresh water called Samaritánka (can be translated as a "Lady Samaritan"). Small chapel above the spring was built in the beginning of the 19th century, but the spring is considered as an ancient sacred place.
According old folk legends, good fairy called Samaritan use to dwell here. She healed all the people in need, until the owner of the place became too eager and started to sell the healing water. At that time the fairy disappeared and will return once when envy and greed vanishes.
