The Heiligeborn is a supposed holy well in Lennestadt-Saalhausen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).
Early records report that the water was used to cure diseases of the eyes.
The analysis of the chemical composition of the water at least supports the notion, that the water is of very good quality.
Today, church services take place regularily at the site of the well.
