The house of the well under the oak tree.


The well at this site is under a tall oak tree and has clear and fresh water.
This spot was also used as a mass-rock during the Penal Times. A little bell attached to the oak tree was rung to call people to the mass.
According to the tradition, a monk from the nearby monastic site came here to drink from the well. He accidentally pulled the rope for the bell and the bell rang, so he called it the place the Bell Well, and the name remained to our days.
