Auliye-Bulak Spring is a sacred water spring, hidden in the silence of the Kazakh expanses, among ancient hills and beautiful tracts. This place is not marked on tourist maps with a bold line, but for those who are looking not for external beauty, but for depth, Aulie-Bulak becomes a real revelation. The spring is hidden at an altitude of 342 meters above sea level in the Buiratau National Park. The spring is famous for being located in the Sokolinye Gory tract and is one of its natural attractions. The name "Auliye-Bulak" is translated as "Sacred Spring", and you can't argue with that. The water here is clear as a tear, cold as a spring dawn, and, according to locals, has healing powers. People come here with prayers, with hope, with faith. People believe: whoever washes themselves from the spring and asks for something with their heart will be heard. Not far from the spring is a pilgrimage site and an archaeological site of the region - the Kos-Batyr Sanctuary (Stone Balbals). Also near the water source is Mount Ortashoky, 450 meters above sea level, and Mount Zhaushok, 465 meters above sea level.

Information -
The Aulie-Bulak tract is a corner of untouched nature, where everything sounds different. A light wind rustles the leaves, the birds sing as if more quietly, and the earth itself seems to breathe peace. In these places, a person does not feel like a host - he is a guest who has come with respect. Around the spring, greenery, bushes, mosses, and flowering grasses bloom. The earth is soft, moist from the eternal presence of water. Some pilgrims note that it is especially good to breathe here - the air seems to be filled with life-giving energy. Aulie-Bulak is a place of power. People come here not only for water, but also for inner peace. Some come to thank, some to be healed, and some just to be silent with nature, with themselves, with the sky. There is nothing here – no cafes, no benches, no noise. Only a spring, nature and the spirit that hovers above the earth. And maybe this is real wealth. Every stone here breathes history, every stream whisper legend. This is a place where nature demonstrates its power and at the same time amazing harmony. It is not surprising that local residents have considered these lands sacred since time immemorial. Here you really feel some special energy – maybe the spirits of ancestors speak to you through the rustling of leaves, or maybe the earth itself shares its wisdom with those who are ready to hear it.
