The vast territory of Russia is rich in all kinds of beautiful springs, differing from each other only in chemical terms. Everyone knows that water from a natural source has extraordinary healing properties that amaze and surprise many. In addition, spring water, unlike artificially purified water, and even more so from tap water, has a magnificent, softest taste and healing properties, about which some tourists make up entertaining legends. The springs in the Moscow region, suitable for drinking, are located at a decent distance from Moscow itself.

Why are not all springs for drinking?

No matter how clean the water may seem at first glance, there are still some impurities that are visible only under the microscope lens. It is also unrealistic to guarantee crystal purity due to the factor of atmospheric pollution with chemical reagents thrown into the air from pipes of various factories.

An important role in the quality of water is played not only by the composition of the atmosphere, but also by the place where the natural source itself is located. Not all springs of the Moscow region are potable. It has been proven that water emerging from a source that is located near large metropolis, may not be drinkable and not suitable for domestic use. Accordingly, real spring water can be obtained only in a place that is located as far as possible from the city. The ideal area for the location of the spring is considered to be a forest-park zone, located a few kilometers from the settlement.

A few decades ago, the springs of the Moscow region and Moscow itself were very drinkable. Today, thanks to the development of industry and urbanization, water has lost its former beneficial properties, moreover, it has become harmful. Here we are talking not only about the water itself, but also about the soil near the spring.

Do they check the water condition in Moscow?

In total, there are about 500 springs in the Moscow region. Of all the available sources, only 50 are the most popular. The rest are also visited by tourists, but not so often. As for checking the condition of the water, this procedure is carried out by laboratory technicians 2 times a year. The optimal time for her is spring or autumn.

The data from such water quality checks are by no means permanent. The most common problems are exceeding the norms for the content of nitrates and pesticides, increased turbidity and oxidizability of the test liquid.

The water obtained from the lower soil layers of the Moscow region can be called pure only conditionally. Here the point is, firstly, in natural properties water, and secondly - in the destructive activity of human hands. The ecological situation in the Moscow region is sad even without that, and what can we say about water.

The healing power of water

According to encyclopedic data, there are over a hundred healing springs in this area. Plunging into the holy springs of the Moscow region, people believe that each such source carries the special divine energy of water. Each such spring, accordingly, has its own distinctive features, which are worth paying special attention to. If possible, it is better to use water from a consecrated source.

Proven springs of the Moscow region

The entire Chekhov region became famous for the Ascension David's Hermitage, which was founded by the Monk David back in 1515 on the banks of the Lesopasnya River. It is also located there ancient monastery, 10 kilometers from which there is a spring with healing water itself. To make the pilgrims as comfortable as possible, the spring was equipped with a font and a changing room, where you can prepare for the sacrament of immersion. Many people say that water taken from this source is very good for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and eye pathologies.

To get to the spring, you can take an electric train and go to the stations Chekhov, Tula or Serpukhov. Next, you need to get to the settlement of Novy Byt. The way by car will pass along the highway of the city of Simferopol, then there will be a turn to the village of Kryukovo, which will change to a direct movement to the village of Novy Byt.

near Zvenigorod

Drinking springs in the Moscow region can also be found in other holy places, one of which is the Savvino-Storozhevskaya monastery. It was founded more than 600 years ago. This miraculous place is located near Zvenigorod. The founder of the monastery, Monk Savva, is a disciple of St. Sergius of Radonezh himself. To this day, there is a great deal of evidence of miraculous healings of seriously ill people, which took place within the walls of the monastery and near the holy source. Also, the powers of Monk Sava have a very impressive healing power.

How to get there

The history of this life-giving spring begins in the 16th century. The source itself is located near the temple and the cave. In this area there is a small chapel with 2 fonts (for men and for women). The shortest way by car lies from Zvenigorod along the Novorizhskoe highway in a straight line to the sign on which is written "Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery."

Some springs in the Moscow region are considered not only drinkable. They also have incredible healing properties.

Rattle key

Gremyachiy source is located 14 kilometers from the city of Sergiev Posad. A small village called Vzglyadnevo is located close to this place. The second name of this spring is the Rattling Falls, as the powerful streams of water flowing from a steep mountain slope resemble in appearance the mighty streams of a waterfall. The base of this wonderful spring is the Vondiga mountain river.

Each river tributary has its own name, namely: Faith, Hope and Love. It is believed that the water of each of the tributaries has its own, absolutely inimitable and unique properties. Faith helps the heart, Hope helps with women's disorders, and Love helps with diseases of the head.

Some springs of the Moscow region are conditionally drinking. This source is one of those.

Scientists have found that the water gushing from this spring has a healing power close to the reservoirs of Kislovodsk. You need to be as careful as possible with it, as it contains a large amount of radon, an overdose of which is very dangerous.

You can get to the spring by train or bus, following from the Yaroslavsky railway station to the town of Sergeev Posad, then you need to get to Malinnikov, and then walk.

Drinking springs in Moscow

In the vicinity of the capital and the region there are about 15 springs, the water of which needs mandatory filtration. Here are some of them:

• The source of the park "Bitsevsky Les", located 600 meters from the building of the directorate.
• Park "Tsaritsyno" (left-bank floodplain of the Tsaritsyno pond).
• Spring "Tsarevna-Swan", located on Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo.
• Spring "Krylatskoe miracle", located on the Tatar ravine.
• Park "Bitsevsky Forest".
• A spring in the village of Yasenevo.
• Botanical garden at the estate "old Sviblovo".
• Museum-reserve "Kolomenskoye".

This is not a complete list of those springs in Moscow and the region that need total cleansing. In general, drinking from unknown sources is not only impractical, but also unhygienic. After all, water, despite all the healing power, can accumulate not only good, but also bad. Therefore, many scientists advise to boil the water that has been collected without fail.

But there are also springs of the Moscow region, from which you can drink without fear.

Muranovsky spring

The cleanest and safest is the spring located in the village of Muranovo. If in any other body of water anyway there is any pollution, then this one can serve as an example of an ideal spring.

Among other things, this water will help summer residents by replacing fertilizers for the land, since with such watering all vegetables grow and develop much better and more productively.

During the Soviet era, the miraculous Muranovsky spring was undeservedly forgotten. However, this is now being corrected, and civilization appears on the site of the former desolation, therefore, this place again begins to "grow" with tourists and local residents.

Another wonderful property of the life-giving moisture of the Muranovo spring is that after washing with it, a person heals the most serious wounds, which previously did not give in to any treatment.

The springs become more and more polluted every year. This is due to the active life of a person. Therefore, even if the source is considered to be drinking, better water from it to subject to heat treatment.

Springs are high-water, ground and artesian, pressure and descending. In addition, they are divided into those that hit constantly and those that appear only in certain time of the year. Springs also differ in water temperature: from cold to boiling. Only cold springs are presented in the Moscow region. Many are considered healing or even miraculous - of which it is customary not only to collect water for drinking, but also to wash or even completely dip. For this, baths are often built, where water is accumulated in an amount sufficient for an adult to enter.

Since the places of such springs are often Orthodox shrines, bathing in them is carried out according to a certain ritual. People usually enter the water wearing clothes - long shirts or simple dresses. Having said a prayer aloud or silently, it is necessary to plunge three times, accompanying this with the sign of the cross. On the eve of bathing in the holy spring, it is recommended not to drink alcohol and not be zealous in food.

There are several healing springs in the Moscow region. As a rule, they are located on the territory of monasteries or near them. One of the "strongest" springs is located in the Chekhov region, in the Davidov Hermitage, where two fonts were erected for pilgrims. Another, "Gremyachy", like a real waterfall, breaks out from a crevice ten kilometers from Sergiev Posad. According to popular beliefs, this spring heals both heart and female diseases. The source of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, located in the Shchelkovo district, outside the village of Kostyshi, helps with eye ailments.

But if the exact facts about miracles and healings are not so easy to verify, then the objective benefits of spring water are quite obvious. Passing through sand and gravel, the waters are purified and, as a result, do not require additional processing, while maintaining beneficial properties. Each source has its own composition, which is determined by the nature of the groundwater in a particular area. Some are interesting in that they are completely free of bacterial contamination (while even tap water according to GOST may contain a small amount of bacteria). Such is, for example, the holy source of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, or, as it is also called, the "Barsky well". In addition, the water in it has a high biological activity, that is, the very healing properties.

There are quite a few springs in the Moscow region - about several hundred, and, as a rule, they are not located in the most widely accessible places - in ravines and on the slopes of hills, where it is not easy to drive up by car or even just walk. If the source is located in the immediate vicinity of a residential area, then this is a reason to think: will the water from it really be useful? It should be borne in mind that the sources can be quite easily contaminated, and the sewerage systems located in the immediate vicinity, as well as car entrances and garbage left by local residents, do not greatly contribute to their safety. Although, if the source is close to the cottage community, marketers do not forget to note this. As, for example, is happening with the village "Leshkovo".

The sanitary and hygienic state of the springs is under the control of the SES, however, the results of the examinations rarely get into the media, so it is best to take care of your well-being yourself. And if there is a desire to dial pure water- it is better to find a source that will be located in the forest, away from residential buildings.
