St. Vitus´ Well

In the depths of the forest in close proximity to Lake Bukovnica and just a couple of metres away from the Chapel of St. Vitus is the location of St. Vitus´ Well. The locals believe that the water from the well that springs only a few metres from the Chapel of St. Vid has healing powers. Visitors wash their faces with the cold water and quench their thirst in the hope that the healing power of the spring water will improve their hearing and sight, cure their digestive issues and problems with their nervous system and help with different skin problems. According to local legend, loggers once saw a radiant child dressed in white clothes in front of the well and thought it to be a heavenly creature because it vanished when they tried to approach it. Some say this is the reason that the well is sometimes referred to as Baba-kútja, that is Baby´s Well.
