Jedlová

A visit to the settlement Jedlová south of Stará Voda is paid back by very refreshing mineral water. The spring has been preferred by locals already long time ago. Entrepreneur and producer of zithers Hans Haubner from Mariánské Lázně bought the adjacent land in 1920. He cleaned the spring, renamed it “Christi“, and offered for sale to the Mariánské Lazně Town. (He bought the Štolní Spring in the village of Drmoul for the same purpose). The Spa Company had really bought the spring, but never used it. Also the name “Christi” (Christusquelle) did not really catch.

Mineral water is collected by the iron pipe in a sealed concrete ring. Spring is covered by quadrilateral wooden pavilion on a brick retaining wall. There is a neat access including a wooden bridge crossing a branch of Kosí creek. The spring at Jedlová is located at the contact of two major tectonic units of the Bohemian Massif. Lying north garnet mica schists are listed on the Saxon-Thuringian Zone (Saxothuringian), biotite gneisses southerly are considered part of the Moldanubian. Gneisses are lined with medium-grained biotite intrusions of granite with biotite and tourmaline. The presence of granite is directly reflected in the presence of some trace elements in mineral water (e.g. relatively high lithium content). The spring is considered having one of the tastiest mineral water in the region.
