A well-enclosed water source that, according to legend, has the power to heal eyes. The spring is one of the main attractions of the trail to the Agata and Łysica Rocks. An interesting fact is that the source has a constant temperature and never freezes.

There is a chapel next to the spring. Its patron, like the spring, is St. Francis of Assisi. Perhaps because the first church in this place was built in 1641 by the Bernardines, which were a branch of the Franciscan Order. The current wooden chapel comes from the 19th century and is located in the upper part of the clearing.
