The Spring

Clean water for free

The Spring is located between Shatilovka and Pavlovo Pole not far from metro station “Botanichniy Sad”. It is the best mineral water spring in Kharkov which gives around 350000 liters of water in a day.  You can get to the spring either from metro "Botanichniy sad" or by taking "an egg" at Gorkiy Park (preferred ;))

From north and east, the spring is surrounded by the new university botanical garden. The spring is the hydrological monument of a nature. In summer it becomes a quite crowded place: some people swim in ice-cold water, the other rest and take water. We've done both - swim in ice-cold water which is 9 all year around, and taking water :) 
In 1960 upon a spring was build a concrete pavilion of original form. In 1990s there was even a small plant which was bottling water from the spring. Now it is a very good green spot in the city where you can not only rest, but also strengthen your health (and soul since 2009).

Last year (in 2009) this place got also its religious touch - the church made a cross next to the spring. So now people sign themselves before going to the cold water as if it was a religious ritual. We won't be surprised if they start selling candles and icons here: business is business.

   Hey! I am afraid, you will have to go there personally and prepay for the table. If you are not a big company and it is a a normal day (without special guests), do not bother with reservation, just come earlier - there surely will be some tables to take.
