What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
In the city part of Goryachy Klyuch there is no shortage of free drinking Springs, and you can at any time drink or draw water from the ferruginous spring of St. Panteleimon or visit the free drinking pump room on schedule. But if you want to find something unusual for yourself, you can take a walk through the forest to this wild ferruginous Spring. It will not be difficult to reach it along the path that leads to The Mirror rock and The Devil's mouth waterfall, but to find it, you will have to use the Navigator and the exact coordinates that are indicated on our map.
Water from the spring flows out in a thin trickle and flows into the main stream, staining the rock around in an orange-rust color, which is associated with its high iron content. There is no information about its composition and useful properties, but in taste and smell (a faint smell of hydrogen sulfide) it is a bit like a ferruginous source of Panteleimon.

🚶 How to get there
Iron Spring is located in the forest south of the city and three kilometers from the center (spring on the map. There are no pointers to it, you will have to look for the exact position using a navigator or smartphone with installed maps at exact coordinates. We recommend using downloaded offline maps Organic Maps, OSM, etc. with trails marked on them. You need to go from the center of the resort along the main trail to Mirror rocks and the waterfall of The Devil's mouth, and at the confluence of two streams, do not go along the main path, but go to the right along the stream along a narrow path littered with trees. Next, carefully look for a spring on the steep Right Bank of the stream along the stream, focusing on the Orange-rusty color of the rock around it.
