Geocache Description:

[LV]

Vienīgais zināmais dzelzsavots Rūjienas novadā. 

[EN] The only iron spring, who is know at Rūjiena district.

[LV]

Dzintaru dzelzsavots atrodas egļu mežā un iztek no pazemes smilšakmens slāņiem, kas satur dzelzi, tāpēc avota ūdenī ļoti labi redzamas oranžas krāsas dzelzs savienojumu nogulsnes un avota krastā pat dzelzs rūdas gabali.

Avots nosaukts tuvējo māju vārdā. Agrāk apkārtējo māju iedzīvotāji gājuši uz avotu pēc ūdens. Zināms, ka 20.gs.30.gados profesors Miķelsons pētījis dzelzsavotus pie Siguldas un secinājis, ka to ūdens lietošana uzturā uzlabo vielmaiņu un palīdz asinsradei. 

Īsākais ceļš uz avotu  (~300 m) ved cauri jaunaudzei, kas atrodas pie ceļa. 

Slēpnis neatrodas tieši pie avota iztekas, bet nedaudz tālāk.

 

 

 

[EN] Dzintaru iron spring is located in spruce forest and water from underground sandstone layers containing iron, so the very visible orange iron compounds and even the source of iron ore. Iron spring named on behalf of nearby houses. In the past, residents of surrounding houses have gone to the spring for water. It is known in 20 century 30 years that professor Miķelsons studied iron spring at Sigulda and found that the water consumption increases metabolism and helps blood formation. The shortest path to the spring (~ 300m) goes through coppice, which is located near the road. Cache is not located directly at the source of the iron spring, but a little further.
