Discovered in AD 962 and believed to have magical powers, the holy springs at this water temple close to the ancient site of Gunung Kawi bubble up into a large pool and gush out through waterspouts into a petirtaan (bathing area) used for ritual purification. The water can be polluted, so bathing isn't recommended. The ticket price includes sarong hire.
