"Pod grmom" (by the bush) is one of the
fresh water sources, which the surroundings of Most na Soči prides
on. Water flow from this wellspring doesn’t stop even during the
driest periods and holds a constant temperature through the whole
year. According to the oral tradition the water from this wellspring
cures eye troubles.
Also the legend of Saint Lucia is linked to the
subject of eyes and sight. Lucia was born during the Roman period
around the year 286 in Sicily. She tore eyes out in order to avoid
a marriage to a young pagan and to keep her vow of virginity and
her Christian beliefs. She is depicted by painters holding her
eyes on a tray in her right hand..
