Filipovský pramen řeky Chrudimky

Great event after Christmas.

Beware of the swamp, prefer the way. :-)

Easily traced, nicely groomed, spring as it should be ?

Not much, the location and the surrounding area is nice, but the actual spring is ugly modified with a stone slab with an inscription what looks like a slab above the grave.

A beautiful, for us winter walk to the spring of Chrudimka. The possibility of roasting burritos in nature and drinking water from a well, which then becomes a river ?

The source of the river Chrudimka is very nice. The surroundings are also worth a walk.

The Filipovský spring of the Chrudimka River is a natural source of groundwater on the earth's surface and the origin of the source (main) source of the river at an altitude of 705 m (according to the contour map) at the edge of the Humperky forest locality. in the cadastral area of ​​Krouna, locality at the interface with the cadastral area of ​​Svratouch. The spring is situated approximately 750 m northwest of the highest peak of the Iron Mountains with the geographical name (oronymum) U hanged (737.4 m above sea level), locally named Na panenky (derived from extensive original meadows called traditionally virgin meadows). Extensive wet meadows seasonally mowed on a gentle slope from the summit to the vicinity of Filipovský spring, it belongs to the sub-basin of the Chrudimka River (the highest point of the orographic distribution board at the top of the U hanged). At the edge of the forest site Humperky there is a break of the terrain, about 50 m from the edge of the forest at the point of the spring bounded by the so-called well. The spring source of the river flows down the spring along a steep slope to the village of Filipov (the name of the spring), part of the village Kameničky. In the Filipov area, the future river will gain water from other sources (a spring in the natural monument Bahna and also below the village Dědová, the beginning of the meadow above the road in the direction of Filipov is piped). The spring area from Dědová and along the watercourse up to the backwater of the Hamry reservoir on the Chrudimka River is a site of European significance called the Chrudimka Valley. Chrudimka springs in the geomorphological district of Kameničská vrchovina, which is part of the Sečská vrchovina in the south-eastern part of the Železné hory Mountains (geomorphological complex). Filipovský spring is one of the multiple sources of the large spring Chrudimka in the Kameničky area. From the point of view of hydrology it is the highest situated, the most significant one, and from it the river is the longest after its mouth into the Elbe, therefore the watercourse from the Filipovský spring is referred to as the source of the river. Until the 17th century, the river was called after its locality, in the upper part Kamenice by the stony trough (hence the name and the village of Kameničky), in the area of ​​Seč, for example in the form of the name Ohebka. The river turns under the rock promontory Malý Oheb and the rock Oheb (from it the name of the castle ruins on the rock above the river and also the nature reserve on the right bank of the water reservoir). The geographical name of Chrudimka settled in the 17th century, derived from the town of Chrudim, through which it flows in the lower reaches. The Chrudimka spring has been located in the Protected Landscape Area of ​​Žďárské vrchy since 1970 and since 1978 in the Protected Area of ​​Natural Water Accumulation (CHOPAV). The place around the spring was modified in 1978 by the pupils of the former SOU Transporta Chrudim. A memorial in the form of a granite obelisk and an information board is placed at the source (note: the obelisk is 708 m above sea level and the Stará Obora forest information board probably reflects the information available at that time, 705 m and Humperky forest correctly). At the spring the beginning of the natural history trail through the Chrudimka Region along the river leading to the town of Chrudim.
