Sacred stone, spring or grove
Silmäläte
The Silmäläte, the eye spring of Visela, is one of the two best-known healing springs of Urvaste parish, where people came to bathe sore eyes in its water. In local stories it is often paired with its neighbour, the Põrguläte or 'hell spring', also called Lehiku läte, which seems to boil as the water wells up. Both springs are protected as heritage sites. The eye spring still flows, but windfalls and logging have damaged the forest around it, and the municipality's survey of sacred places recommends letting the woods grow back and keeping the path to the spring open.

Visela Silmäläte on üks Urvaste kihelkonna kahest tuntuimast tervendavast allikast, kuhu tuldi valutavaid silmi pesema. Kohalikes lugudes esineb see sageli koos naabriga, Põrgulättega ehk Lehiku lättega, mis näib vee pealetungi tõttu keevat. Mõlemad allikad on muinsuskaitse all. Silmaallikas voolab endiselt, kuid tormimurd ja raie on ümbritsevat metsa kahjustanud ning valla pühapaikade ülevaade soovitab lasta metsal taastuda ja hoida allika juurde viiv rada lahti.
