The vast territory of Russia is rich in all kinds of beautiful springs, differing from each other only in the chemical composition of the waters. Everyone knows that water from a natural source has extraordinary healing properties that amaze and surprise many. In addition, spring water, in contrast to purified artificially, and even more so from tap water, has a magnificent, mild taste and medicinal properties, which some tourists make interesting legends about. Springs in the Moscow Region, suitable for drinking, are at a decent distance from Moscow itself.
Why aren't all springs intended for drinking?
No matter how clean the water may seem at first glance, there are still some impurities that are visible only under the lens of the microscope. It is also unrealistic to guarantee crystal purity because of the factor of atmospheric pollution with chemical reagents emitted into the air from pipes of various plants.
An important role in the quality of water is played not only by the composition of the atmosphere, but also by the place where the natural source itself is located. Not all springs of the Moscow Region are drinkable. It is proved that water emerging from a source located near a large metropolis cannot be suitable for drinking and domestic use. Accordingly, real spring water can only be obtained in a place that is located as far as possible from the city. An ideal area for the location of the spring is the forest park zone, located a few kilometers from the village.
A few decades ago, the springs of the Moscow Region and Moscow itself were very drinkable. Today, thanks to the development of industry and urbanization, water has lost its former beneficial properties; moreover, it has become harmful. Here we are talking not only about the water itself, but also about the soil near the spring.
Are water conditions checked in Moscow?
In total, there are about 500 springs of the Moscow region. Of the available sources, only 50 are most popular. The rest are also visited by tourists, but not so often. As for checking the state of water, this procedure is carried out by laboratory assistants 2 times a year. The best time for her is spring or autumn.
The data of such water quality checks cannot be called permanent. The most common problems are exceeding the nitrate and pesticide content, increased turbidity and oxidizability of the test fluid.
Water obtained from the lower soil layers of the Moscow Region can be called pure only conditionally. Here it is, firstly, in the natural properties of water, and secondly - in the destructive activity of human hands. The environmental situation in the Moscow region is sad even without that, and what can we say about water.
Healing power of water
According to encyclopedic data, in this area there are more than a hundred healing sources. Plunging into the holy springs of the Moscow region, people believe that each similar source carries a special divine energy of water. Each such spring, respectively, has its own distinctive features, which are worth paying special attention to. If possible, it is better to drink water from a sanctified source.
Verified springs of the Moscow region
The Voznesenskaya David Desert, which was founded by the Rev. David in the distant 1515 on the banks of the Lesopasni River, became famous throughout the Chekhov region. There is also an ancient monastery, 10 kilometers from which is located the source itself with healing water. To make the pilgrims as comfortable as possible, the spring was equipped with a font and a locker room, where you can prepare for the sacrament of immersion. Many people say that water taken from this source very well helps with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and eye pathologies.

The road by car will pass along the highway of the city of Simferopol, then a turn will follow to the village of Kryukovo, which will change to direct traffic to the village of New Life.
Holy spring near Zvenigorod
Springs in the suburbs suitable for drinking can be found in other holy places, one of which is the Savvino-Storozhevskaya cloister. It was founded more than 600 years ago. This miraculous place is located near Zvenigorod. The founder of the monastery - Monk Savva, is a student of St. Sergius of Radonezh himself. To this day, there is a great deal of evidence of miraculous healings of seriously ill people that occurred within the walls of the monastery and near the holy spring. The relics of Monk Sava also possess a very impressive healing power.
How to get there
The history of this life-giving spring begins in the 16th century. The source itself is located near the temple and cave. There is a small chapel on this territory, in which there are 2 fonts (for men and for women). The shortest way by car is from Zvenigorod along Novorizhskoye Shosse in a straight line to the sign that says "Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery."
Some springs of the Moscow region are considered not only suitable for drinking. They also have incredible healing properties.
Rattle key
The hot spring is located 14 kilometers from the city of Sergiev Posad. Close to this place is a small village called Vzglyadnevo. The second name of this spring is Rattlesnake Falls, as the powerful streams of water flowing from a steep mountain slope resemble the mighty jets of a waterfall in appearance. The basis of this wonderful source is the mountain river Wondiga.
Each river tributary has its own name, namely: Faith, Hope and Love. It is believed that the water of each of the tributaries has its own, absolutely unique and unique properties. Faith helps the heart, Hope for female disorders, and Love - for diseases of the head.
Some springs of the Moscow region are conditionally drinking. This source is one such.
Scientists have found that the water that beats from this key is close to the water bodies of Kislovodsk in healing power. You need to be as careful as possible with it, since it contains a large amount of radon, an overdose of which is very dangerous.
You can get to the spring by train or bus, following from the Yaroslavl station to the city of Sergeyev Posad, then you need to get to Malinnikov, and then go on foot.
Moscow drinking springs
In the vicinity of the capital and the region there are about 15 sources, the water of which needs to be filtered. Here is some of them:
- The source of the Bitsevsky Forest park is located 600 meters from the directorate building.
- Park "Tsaritsyno" (left-bank floodplain of the Tsaritsyno pond).
- Spring "Princess Swan", located on Pokrovsky-Streshnevo.
- Spring "Krylatskoe miracle", located on the Tatar ravine.
- Park "Bitsevsky Forest".
- Spring in the village of Yasenevo.
- Botanical garden at the estate "old Sviblovo."
- Museum-Reserve "Kolomenskoye".
This is not a complete list of those springs of Moscow and the region that need total purification. In general, drinking from unknown sources is not only impractical, but also unhygienic. After all, water, despite all the healing power, can accumulate not only good, but also bad. Therefore, many scientists advise without fail to boil the water that has been collected.
But there are also springs near Moscow, from which you can drink without fear.
Muranovsky spring
The purest and safest is a spring located in the village of Muranovo. If in any other body of water anyway there is some kind of pollution, then this one can serve as an example of an ideal spring.
Among other things, this water will help summer residents by replacing fertilizers for the land, since with such irrigation all vegetables grow and develop much better and more productively.
During the Soviet era, the miraculous Muranov source was undeservedly forgotten. However, this is now being corrected, and civilization is appearing on the site of the former desolation, therefore, this place is starting to “grow” again with tourists and local residents.
Another remarkable property of the life-giving moisture of the Muranov spring is that after washing it with a person, the most serious wounds heal, which before that could not be treated.
The springs of the Moscow region (Moscow region) are becoming more and more polluted every year. This is due to the active life of a person. Therefore, even if the source is considered potable, it is better to heat the water from it.
