Studánka Stydlá Voda

Unfortunately, and here are the mugs I do not have the courage to taste the water, otherwise I am a lover of spring water ..

Nice inconspicuous well, a bit neglected, but maybe it can be repaired :)

That water has saved my life a few times this summer.

It is possible to pump water, towards the valley in winter also a very slippery treasure, the flowing water freezes.

You will find an inconspicuous well right next to the tourist sign a short distance above the tracks in the Prokopské and Dalejské údolí nature park, about 50 m from the railway house no. 281. The original well is in the form of a stone wall 80 cm wide and 115 cm high, set into the slope. Approximately in the middle of this height is a step 40 cm wide with a cup-shaped depression carved into the stone. Water flows into the bowl from the inside of the building through a slit-shaped opening and falls to the ground over the edge. Approximately 2 m away is another new smaller building built of large stones. In the lower flat step, it is also carved with a bowl. About 15 m below the well on the left bank of the drainage stream concrete cube - a kind of reservoir. From there, the guard's house by the railway track took water. The name of the well was created artificially by Zdeněk Eberl by transfer from other localities with the occurrence of travertine in the Bohemian Karst. Today it is already used and commonly used. The source of groundwater is a karst-fracture collector formed by Devonian limestones of the Zlíchov Formation. There were several attempts to renovate the site, but the spring always found its own way after some time. The inconspicuous well can be found just off the tourist mark just above the track in the Prokopské and Dalejské údolí natural parks, about 50 m from the railway house no. 281. The original well is shaped like a stone wall 80 cm wide and 115 cm high, set on a slope. Approximately in the middle of this height, the stage is 40 cm wide with a dish shaped hollow carved into stone. A water flows from the inside of the building through a slit-hole through the water, and over the edge it swings to the ground. Approximately 2 meters away is another new smaller building built of large stones. In the lower flat stage it is also carved with a bowl. About 15 m under the well on the left bank of the drainage concrete cube - a kind of water reservoir. From there, the railroad guard's house was supplied with water. The name of the well was created artificially by Zdeňek Eberle by transferring from other localities with travertine occurrence in the Czech Karst. Today it is already commonly used. The source of groundwater is the karst crack collector made of Devonian limestone of the Zlíchovian layers. Several attempts have been made to build the site, but the spring has always found its own path.

Drinking water. Well, it doesn't taste so much about minerals. Set in a very beautiful setting.

In some places, a wild valley, stretching from Řeporyjí or Nové Butovice, as it is taken, to Hlubočep. There are many interesting places and natural rock formations, numerous remains of former quarries-Mušlovka, Červený lom, Prastav, a bit away from Požáry and many others. After the former mills you can find their drives, after the quarries preserved galleries, freely accessible. The railway with a stop Prague-Holyně leads through the valley. Suitable for visiting any time of the year, I recommend a colorful fall. This review refers to the Prokop Valley as a whole. The valley is dotted mainly by the ruins of the former limestone mill Biskup and Kvis and Truneček's mill, garbage in the vicinity. The Well of Shy Water was built on the church road from Holyně to old Butovice.

A place where you can very well refresh yourself with really excellent spring water. If you don't mind a bit of the elevation gain and you leave the main road leading through the Prokop Valley, you will come across this beautiful well.
