The water contains significant amounts of iron, which causes the reddish-brown deposits found on the stones surrounding the spring outlet.
The carbon dioxide in the water is of volcanic origin, rising to the surface through geological faults in the Nízký Jeseník mountain range.
The spring was historically known as 'Těšíkov acidula' and has been utilized by local inhabitants for medicinal purposes since the 19th century.
The water's pH and mineral balance make it unsuitable for long-term storage in clear glass, as the iron precipitates quickly when exposed to oxygen and light.
Těšíkovská kyselka is a natural, carbonated mineral spring located in the valley of the Trusovický stream near the village of Těšíkov. The water is naturally effervescent due to high carbon dioxide content and has a distinct iron-rich mineral composition. The spring flows into a covered, stone-walled well house designed for easy access for visitors. It is officially classified as a natural mineral water source with therapeutic potential based on its chemical profile. The site is situated within a forested ravine, creating a quiet microclimate that stays cool even in high summer. A sheltered wooden seating area is provided for visitors to rest beside the well.

Bring your own reusable glass or plastic bottle to fill directly from the spout.
Wear waterproof footwear, as the ground immediately surrounding the spring can be muddy or slippery due to constant overflow.
The water has a strong metallic, acidic taste that surprises first-time visitors; expect a flavor profile similar to sparkling mineral water mixed with a hint of iron.
Attempting to drive a personal vehicle directly to the well house, as the path is primarily restricted to forest tracks and pedestrians.
Maintain cleanliness around the well house; do not discard refuse in the forest area.
