🚶 How to get there
the spring is located about 4.5 kilometers from the center of the tourist area (the spring on the map). The health trail terrencourt No. 2 and No. 3 leads here, bypassing Zheleznaya Mountain, there are signs along the way, but it's not easy to figure them out. Therefore, it is best to arm yourself with a navigator or download offline map applications to your smartphone, such as Organic Maps, Guru Maps, OSM, etc., and follow the navigator. One of the landmarks directly on the approach to the spring is an old asphalt footpath from the time of the USSR, which will lead you almost to the spring itself.
To shorten the walking part of the route, you can take a car from the non-tourist part of the city along the old asphalt road to the Forester's Hut cafe, park the car there and continue walking along the trails. In this case, you will have to walk only one and a half kilometers to the spring instead of four.
