Add a review about Talovsky Chashi

Some archaeologists and historians say that it was the Talovsky Chalices that became the prototype for the appearance of legends about the Grail. Ostensibly, the ancient Visigoths during the migration from the East to the West preserved the memory of the ancient miracle of nature, and later this memory was reflected in the legends of King Arthur.

Regardless of the truth or not, the Talovsky Bowls are really magnificent. These are huge natural figures in the form of vessels of oval form, covered from the inside by bernesite - a rare mineral.

In total, there are four large and three small bowls. Inside them, mineral water constantly flows and pours. Therefore the thickets grow little by little - salt and minerals dry up and grow on the bowl, increasing it in size.

In the people it is believed that this water is curative - it helps with eye and skin diseases, as well as with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Even in winter, water does not freeze, but continues to flow through numerous streams on the ground and underground.

Visiting rules

This nature monument has always attracted tourists, and that's why until recently the area around it was in a nightmare . Only recently, the staff of the cadastre department of the PAs cleared the territories and now carefully keep it clean. Therefore, we urge all tourists to carefully read what can and can not be done on the territory of the Talovsky bowls, so that after local "knights of the round table", that is ecologists and employees of the Talovsky Bowls, did not arrange a crusade for you.

By the way, if strongly jump around the bowl, then a couple of moments from the water depth will rise bubbles of carbon dioxide. Of course, you should definitely try a little water from the sources - it's very tasty, especially in summer, in hot weather
