The water flows abundantly, with about 10 liters per second discharging from the spring into the river. During winter, this place becomes a haven for birds, as the constant water temperature keeps the river from freezing. Žalsvasis Spring is not only a natural wonder but also a historical site, reminiscent of Pasvalys' past glory as a resort town known for its springs and sulfur baths. This heritage revives the history of Pasvalys, reminding us of the times when the town was renowned as a center for health and recreation.
