Most of the people who took part in the procession to the Virgin Mary of Frýdek did not forget to visit “Hájek.” The place got its name from the former archduke’s forest, the site of a well where pilgrims from the Basilica of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary gathered. These people believed that the water from the well had miraculous powers. Everyone took a drink, bathed in the “holy” water and took some home in bottles as a gift from their pilgrimage.
