Muravievskiy fontan, Historic spring in Staraya Russa, Russia.
Muravievskiy spring is a historic mineral water source in Staraya Russa that flows through an ornate stone structure, creating a natural fountain. The source remains fed by flowing water throughout the year and is part of the broader resort grounds.
This spring formed several centuries ago and became an integral part of the Staraya Russa resort area. The therapeutic waters drew people seeking health benefits from the mineral composition over generations.
The spring embodies traditional Russian wellness practices, where locals and visitors gather to collect mineral-rich water for health purposes. People regularly use this place to fill containers and take the water home with them.
The fountain is located on Mineralnaya Street within the resort grounds and is accessible during daylight hours. Visitors should bring their own containers to collect water, as there are no drinking facilities on site.
The mineral water leaves distinctive deposits and discolorations on the stone surfaces where it flows downward. These natural patterns develop over time from the interaction between minerals and stone.
