A karst spring below Góra Świętej Anny

Siedem Źródeł is a karst resurgence in Leśnica, Strzelce district, hidden in a beech forest within the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park. Water emerges here through numerous channels at the foot of a limestone rock wall and gives rise to the Anka stream. Despite the name it is a single spring — the number seven refers to the water mills its outflow once powered.

What makes it special

The yield of the resurgence is estimated at twenty to thirty litres per second, and the water keeps a constant temperature of about 9.4 degrees Celsius. Thanks to that the spring never freezes, even in hard winters, and vapour often hangs above the surface. The water is drinkable and visitors readily fill their bottles here.

Who it suits

The place draws both pilgrims heading to Góra Świętej Anny and families looking for a short walk in the shade of the beeches. A picnic table stands by the spring, making it an easy stop along the way.
