Pernik district

Living water

Not far from Pernik, in the Vitosha mountain above the village of Bosnek, there is a miraculous spring known as the Living Water. If you walk along the karst alley, well marked with many information signs, in an hour and a half you will reach a stone sculpture of a dragon’s head, from where you can quench your thirst with healing water. The water there does not flow constantly and the legend says that if a person with bad deeds stands in front of the dragon, the water stops flowing. The road to the spring is not difficult and goes through meadows and a beautiful beech forest. You can go there on a family outing with the children and eat in the shelter next to the fountain with the stone dragon. Along the path grow fragrant herbs, from which you can collect a small bouquet for aromatic tea.
