Eye Spring
Johann Stieber built an artificial Lourdes cave with a statue of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes near the spring. Nearby there is also the little chapel of the Virgin Mary of Holy Hostýn, built by inhabitants of Starý Jičín and its surroundings after World War Two. In the past, annual pilgrimages used to be made to the statue of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes on 6 October. The spring has very good drinking water; many people come for it every day. The considerably calcareous water is of high quality and is said to be miraculous, because it has allegedly healed many ill people’s eyes.
