[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - holy well

[Volker Schmidt]

Interesting idea.
But difficult to define.
There is a wide spectrum from really sacred places, like chapels with a
spring inside to the wells or fountains where people go with plastic
bottles
to collect "good" or "healthy" water.and the wells that tourists fill with
coins (no drinking water there).
I would rather see this somehow under the tourism tent - pilgrimage is the
original form of tourism.
