In the pilgrimage routes associated with the Talezh area, the Holy Source of St. David of Serpukhov (Talezh) is mentioned. Since the spring is located in the lowlands, many wooden stairs with railings are arranged on the territory, which very successfully fit into the general landscape of the area. Now the territory of the spring is wonderfully landscaped: above the source itself there is a chapel in honor of the icon of the Blessed Virgin “Life-bearing spring”.

On the clearing in front of the baths there is a chapel in honor of St. David of Serpukhov and a belfry, made in 1995-1999 by Orthodox architects in the pseudo tent style of the times of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Pilgrims are advised to check in advance the possibility of travel and access to water on the selected date.
