Drinking water from the ground

I was used to finding water fountains and clean streams #acrossRomania, but for the last 2 days and 150 km, this was the first one, almost hidden. Right next to it, there's most likely a grave with XC (could be HC in Cyrillic) and what looks like a WW1 medal.

And only once before have I seen this type of sheltered spring. There are 2 chalices next to it used for scooping water from the well. The spring is covered with a wooden door that protects it from the elements, although the surplus of water is flowing away anyway, making what's inside always clean.

The chance to drink clean water directly from the ground seems like such a luxury in this century.En savoir plus
