Bohemian Forest Natural Spring Železná Ruda
Water Source
A reliable natural spring tucked in the Bohemian Forest just outside Železná Ruda town. The spring flows year-round from a stone-lined source that locals have used for generations. Water is clear and cold, perfect for filling tanks and bottles. A small clearing nearby allows for easy vehicle access and container filling without blocking the source.
Located about 2km from town on a forest service road, it’s accessible by any vehicle in decent weather. Spring flow can slow during late summer dry spells but rarely stops completely. Popular with hikers and mountain bikers, so expect some foot traffic during weekends.
