    On the shore of Lake Vištytis in the Šilelis Forest, fresh water gushes from a spring, popularly called the Holy Spring. People's stories say that the water of this spring was truly exceptional. After watering their eyes with it, the blind regained their sight and hard-to-heal wounds quickly closed. And nowadays there are stories of miraculous healings, many believe in its miraculous power. Believing in the powers of the Holy Spring, people who have traveled from the most remote corners splash water and erect crosses on the hill near the spring.
