Marielundskilden is an old holy spring, located a little north of Lake Marielundssøen. The water in the spring is known to have magical properties. Especially on Midsummer, the spring was visited by sick people who sought healing by drinking from the spring.
However, the spring also has the property that if a man or woman drinks from the water at the same time as the person they are in love with, they will get married.
The spring was close to destruction when the Troldhedebanen was built. However, the locals managed to preserve the spring. In 1939, the facility around the spring was restructured and the spring was protected in January 1968.
