The Verknė Landscape Reserve, in the village of Rangava, has the most forceful spring of the regional park. It is brimming with circles of 4-5 stronger momentum rising from the ground. The water comes from sandy nails brought in by glacial water flows, and leaks into the water storage area of the flooded stream. Then the same stream flows into the Verknė river. Source debit 1.6 l/s. Old local residents tell us that the spring has extraordinary powers because “flows east in front of the sun.” It used to come from an old big oak stump that was stoned when it was knocked down. People in the surrounding villages used to draw water from this spring, washed in it, sprinkled, took it home, poured it into wells.
