The "Golden Well" is the name given to the site with the chapel of St. John of Dukla above a spring on the trail from Dukla to Cergowa. This site, also accessible via the nature trail from Cergowa, is, according to local tradition, associated with the hermit's life of St. John of Dukla, born around 1414. He founded a well here, dubbed the "Golden Well."

The Golden Well remains a pilgrimage site, and indulgence masses are held there on the third Sunday of July.

Another place of devotion to St. John of Dukla is the so-called Golden Well. Chroniclers first noted its existence in 1896. A spring flows next to the chapel, situated on the wooded peak of Cergowa Mountain, enclosed by a well. According to tradition, St. John spent entire nights in solitude here, praying and undergoing various mortifications.
