Overview

Źródełko Miłości, or the Spring of Love, is a historic mineral water spring located in the spa town of Krynica-Zdrój, Poland. The spring is housed within a wooden, gazebo-style structure designed in a distinct regional spa architecture style. It is historically associated with local mineral water tourism and the tradition of 'pijalnia' (drinking halls) characteristic of the Beskid Mountains region. Visitors can access the water directly from the spout, which is integrated into the architectural frame. The spring is situated along a walking path frequented by health-conscious tourists and visitors to the surrounding spa park zones. Its name is rooted in local lore, often cited by residents as a romantic landmark in the spa district. The site is maintained as part of the broader Krynica-Zdrój mineral water infrastructure network.

Insider tips

Bring your own reusable mug or small cup, as single-use cups are often not provided on-site.

Visit during a stroll through the lower spa park to integrate the stop into a wider walking route.

Check the signage at the spring to ensure the water is current and flowing, as maintenance can occasionally cause temporary shutdowns.

What to avoid

Do not expect high-pressure water flow; the spring is a natural source and the flow rate can be slow.
