Cross Spring

Although the Cross Spring isn’t the oldest known spring in town, it has achieved almost world renown. The archives at Teplá Monastery make first mention of the Cross Spring in 1749 as the Salty Spring. When, in 1749, a pharmacist from Teplá called Damian Schulz erected a high cross made from the trees in the area of the salty spring, which was surrounded by a stone circle, people began to call it the Cross Spring.
