Kuninkaanlähde on vanhan Hämeen Härkätien varrella, tarinan mukaan kuningas Kustaa Vaasa on 1500-luvulla juottanut hevosiaan lähteellä kulkiessaan tietä pitkin. Nykyään lähde on puisten hirsien rajaama allas eikä houkuttele juomaan. Lähteen virtaamaa ei pysty helpolla arvioimaan mutta lähteen tuotto ei ole kovin paljon.
Kuninkaanlähde means "King's spring". It is along a very old road, the tale tells that king Kustaa Vaasa has stopped here at 16th century to give water to horses to drink. Nowadays the spring is a pond with wooden logs around it and one is not tempted to have a drink from it. It is not easy to estimate spring flow but it is not very much.
