The natural drinking water of Stelpe is taken from the environmentally pure Stelpe (Nizere) spring located in Bauska region Stelpe parish. This sulfur spring has an ancient history. It’s well known with its healthy and healing waters all over the country. Already in 1930s people knew about the curative traits of the underground sulfate water.

There are three springs of mineral water in Bauskas region - Ozolaine (Kulsenu) sulfur spring which is protected by state, Barbele sulfur spring and Stelpe (Nizeres) sulfur spring, the object under protection of local meaning. The mineral composition of mineral water is approximately similar in Bauska region and falls within curative sulfate – carbonate mineral water with small level of mineralization. The springs are situated in triangle with 10-12-15 km long edges. In the middle of triangle there is a rather virgin land which could be a perfect place for recreation and even more this zone is only 55 - 70 km form Riga.
