In the picturesque Lisiego Potok Valley, right next to the road called Kira, there is a spring hidden years ago (1893) in the mouth of a cast-iron lion, which today, unfortunately, cannot be found due to greed. Only the memory carefully evoked by hikers and lovers of the forest who remember its existence remains after him. Today, the flowing water is dripping from the concrete base in which the lion's head was embedded, gathering in the lagoon below, and then walking lazily further. The color of the deposited bloom is interesting, testifying to the presence of ferrous bacteria (iron reducing bacteria (from Fe3 + to Fe2 +) in anaerobic conditions;).
Another name for the spring - the Gené Spring, comes from the name of Carl Ludwig Gené - a forester who has been managing the forest since 1863, a great lover of the forest, ancestor of the Dendrological Garden in Glinna.
Just behind the stream, there is a place to rest with a shelter, benches, tables and a fireplace.
