Zdislava`s Spring is situated below the chateau of Lemberk. Legends say that St. Zdislava used its water to heal eye diseases.
The source of healing water is decorated with an Empire-style arbour with eight Tuscan pillars. The local people still believe in the healing power of the water of Zdislava's spring and fetch water from it.
The dark lake with an adjacent cavern approximately 300 m away is the other extreme to the water of Zdislava. The water in the lake is dead water. The close proximity of the living and dead water bears a great significance for folk medicine.
The spring was restored in 1995 on the occasion of the canonisation of St. Zdislava.
