Ferdinand Spring

This water has a markedly salty taste with a composition similar to the Cross Spring (křížový), but more mineralized. It was the first Spring to attract attention to what was, at that time, a largely uninhabited and quite desolate far-off border forest. From the 16th century, it was often used in the production of salt - with unusual effects – in this region they didn't produce cooking salt (which was always necessary) but a laxative form of salt.
