This magical spring, nestled on a hillside amidst a lush pine forest near Lake Sėtikio, captivates both locals and visitors with its history and unique natural properties. Its absolute elevation is 171.2 meters, with a height difference of only 0.85 meters from the spring to the lake level. The spring features fresh, moderately hard, magnesium-calcium bicarbonate water that remains unfrozen even in winter, with temperatures between 6° and 8° C. The water flows through a stone-lined channel with three spouts directly into the lake, with a daily discharge of approximately 507.67 cubic meters.

The spring features fresh, moderately hard, magnesium-calcium bicarbonate water that remains unfrozen even in winter, with temperatures between 6° and 8° C. The water flows through a stone-lined channel with three spouts directly
into the lake, with a daily discharge of approximately 507.67 cubic meters. Chemical analysis of the spring water reveals that it contains about four times more iron than the standards for fresh drinking water, although this amount can vary depending on the season and environmental conditions. The site is considered sacred by the local community, where the traditional festival of Rasos (Midsummer) is celebrated. The spring is regarded as healing and miraculous, with tales of its ability to cure various ailments.
