'''Muri Spring''' ({{Langx|de|Muri-Quelle}}, {{langx|sl|Murijev vrelec}}) is a [chalybeate](/source/chalybeate) [mineral spring](/source/mineral_spring) on the Austrian side of the [Austria-Slovenia border](/source/Austria-Slovenia_border), on the slope of a hill named Goli&nbsp;Vrh. The spring is next to the main road leading from [Jezersko](/source/Seeberg_Saddle) towards the village of [Bad Vellach](/source/Bad_Vellach).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.naizlet.si/mineralni-vrelci/ |title=Mineral Springs: The Valley of Thousand Springs |lang=sl |trans-title=Mineralni vrelci – dolina tisočerih vrelcev |work=Na izlet |access-date=2023-06-03}}</ref> The water arises from [Paleozoic](/source/Paleozoic) [schists](/source/schists), which contain a high concentration of iron minerals.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.geopark-karawanken.at/de/seite/view/geologie |language=de |title=Geologie im Geopark: Muri-Quelle |trans-title=Geology in the Geopark: Muri Spring |work=Geopark Karawanken |publisher=EVTZ Geopark Karawanken |access-date=2023-06-03}}</ref> Due to the high mineral content, the water leaves a marked trace.

During the rain, the fallen water runs underground and mixes with [carbon dioxide](/source/carbon_dioxide), which emerges from deeper parts of the [Earth's crust](/source/Earth's_crust). Such water dissolves iron minerals present in the rock of this area. The source disappears during drought and low rain.<ref>{{cite news |first=Andreja |last=Čibon Kodrin |url=https://vecer.com/v-nedeljo/foto-na-poti-mineralnih-izvirov-voda-ni-le-za-zejo-10239089 |title=(FOTO) Na Poti mineralnih izvirov voda ni le za žejo |language=sl |trans-title=(PHOTOS) Water is not just for Thirst on the Mineral Springs Trail |newspaper=Večer |date=4 April 2021}}</ref>
