The spring is the namesake for the popular 'Mitická' brand of bottled mineral water produced in Slovakia.
The water contains high levels of dissolved minerals, including calcium and magnesium, characteristic of the limestone geological base of the Strážov Mountains.
The spring flows continuously, fed by an underground aquifer that has been utilized by the local population for generations.
The water is classified as naturally carbonated due to the absorption of subterranean carbon dioxide gases.
The surrounding Trenčianske Mitice region is part of a larger zone in Slovakia known for high-quality subterranean mineral water deposits.
