You can visit this spring on Petrín hill (327 m) in the center of Prague, Czech Republic.

Petrin rises some 130 m above the left bank of the Vltava River. The hill, almost entirely covered with parks, is a favorite recreational area for the inhabitants of Prague. The hill is featured prominently in Franz Kafka's (visit link) early short story "Description of a Struggle" and briefly in Milan Kundera's (visit link) novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

The summit of the hill is linked to Prague's Malá Strana district (visit link) by the Petrín funicular, a funicular railway that first operated in 1891.
