Gremuchiy Spring, Natural spring in Zheleznodorozhny District, Rostov-on-Don, Russia
Gremuchiy Spring is a natural water source in the Zheleznodorozhny District of Rostov-on-Don with dedicated piping systems that deliver clean water to visitors year-round. The site includes two swimming pools of different depths designed for adults and children.
The spring was first documented in 1919 by Professor Vladimir Vladimirovich Bogachev in a geological guide to the Rostov region. It received religious recognition in the 1990s with the installation of a large white cross marking its sanctification.
The spring holds spiritual importance for visitors who come seeking its healing properties and connection to faith. Its location near a church makes it a place where people pause to reflect on their beliefs.
The water maintains a steady temperature of 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round, making it accessible for drinking and swimming during all seasons. Visitors should prepare for cool conditions and bring appropriate clothing for their chosen activity.
During Epiphany celebrations, local residents gather water from the spring in a tradition that has been passed down through many generations in the community. This annual practice connects religious belief with local trust in the water's special properties.
