img_4kq_cdjicjef

In front of the hamlet of Cons, at the sawmill, there is a small niche of saints above the road, surrounded by birch trees. The springs that originate further up have high energies and would be suitable as mineral water springs.

Description

No one knows exactly why the niche of the saint stands in this place. But it is known that stillborn or prematurely deceased infants were buried in this area. Unbaptized people were not allowed to be buried in the cemetery. So people looked for a suitable place where they could still say goodbye to their deceased child. At the niche of the saints they found the necessary, constructive strength.
