Kultalähde, Sacred spring and archaeological site in Salo, Finland
The spring emerges from the ground in the protected Hyyppäränharju ridge area, surrounded by dense coniferous forest and natural formations.
During the Great Northern War between 1713 and 1721, local residents submerged church bells from Kiikala into Kultalähde spring for protection.
Ancient Finns performed ceremonies at the spring, placing coins, needles, and silver pieces as offerings while seeking healing properties from its waters.
Two marked circular paths lead to the spring from the parking area, with the shorter blue trail spanning 1.8 kilometers and the red trail extending 2.3 kilometers.
According to local tradition, a treasure containing a moonshine still filled with jewels rests at the bottom of the spring, retrievable only under specific conditions.
