Saint Wolfgang's Spring

Saint Wolfgang's Spring (known as Wolf's Spring) was worshipped in pre-Christian times as water that was believed to have miraculous properties.

At the beginning of the Christianization of the Sudetes, the spring was attributed to Saint Wolfgang. There are many legends and tales associated with the spring. One of them says that it was the saint who drank from the spring while walking along a nearby path, while another - probably much earlier - says that a witch cast spells on the spring, depriving it of its magical properties.

Saint Wolfgang, the patron saint of shepherds, among others, was sent from Germany to Hungary as the most suitable person to evangelize the local people. Who knows, maybe he also stopped by Querbach (Przecznica) and Gierhen (Gierczyn) on his way?

Either way - the water is delicious. I have not determined whether it has magical properties, but it is very cold and tasty.

In the 19th century, the spring flowing from the rocks was enclosed in blocks of granite gneiss and a name was put on it. The name "wolfram spring" or even St. Wolfram's spring is also used (probably due to the cobalt and wolfram deposits occurring in the region along with tin).
