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.

St. Franciszka flows out in a vast clearing near Saint Catherine. The red trail to Łysica runs here. In the past, the water spilled freely on the surrounding paths. Currently, the source is enclosed by a well. The spring has a constant temperature and never freezes, providing pilgrims and tourists with cold, tasty and healthy water.

According to legend, the younger sister cried her eyes here after the older sister died under the ruins of the castle destroyed by lightning. Her tears filled the miraculous spring and that is why the water has a special power to heal the eyes.
