Uhrilähde, Sacred spring and archaeological site in Jämijärvi, Finland.
The spring emerges from the sandy layers of Hämeenkangas, where crystalline water and sand continuously rise above the surface, shifting positions throughout the year.
Throughout centuries, local inhabitants made offerings of food and valuable items at this spring, which became a registered archaeological site due to its religious significance.
The spring received its name from the traditional belief that its waters could heal eye diseases when combined with a monetary offering thrown into the water.
Located 450 meters from Uhrilähteentie to Mielahdentie road, the spring features a small parking area and clear paths leading visitors to the water source.
The spring's waters create a natural phenomenon where sand particles dance upward through the water, creating an ever-changing pattern at the surface.
