The Holy Spring – A Hidden Gem of Thyholm
South-east of Hvidbjerg, a clear and powerful spring flows steadily from the ground – even during droughts. Known since the Middle Ages and restored in 1976, this peaceful site holds deep historical significance.
The Holy Spring – Thyholm
Southeast of Hvidbjerg, where the railway crosses Munkevej, lies the captivating holy spring, which flows year-round with large amounts of clear, cold water – even during droughts.
The spring was beautifully restored in 1976, and a path now provides visitor access.
First mentioned in 1360, the spring likely dates back to the time when the first hunters and fishers arrived after the Ice Age. It once produced enough water to power a full watermill at Helligkildegård, where the millpond still exists. As late as 1880, people continued to gather at the spring.
