I could not find the thread of several weeks ago, to which I could not
add to at the time because I was traveling, discussing the Baal Shem
Tov's mikvah near Wiznitz. So I am placing these photos and
information on this related thread.

I've posted at the links above two photos of a bottle of water from
the stream in which the BST allegedly bathed. I received it from
Alexander Tauscher, the "Jewish representative" residing in Wiznitz
/Vyzhnytsia, who keeps an eye on and cares for the cemetery, Rebbe's
home and other Jewish sites there and in nearby towns (including
Vashkivtsi/Vashkovitz, my father's birthplace). Tauscher was a
gynecologist who uses the waters from the stream to make teas and
potions for himself in the tradition of the Baal Shem Tov.
Unfortunately, I could not find a good photo of the rocky spot in the
stream above Wiznitz, which a marker claims the BST used as his
Mikvah. But I did make a screenshot of the place from the film, A
Shtetl in the Caribbean, which I visited with my childhood friend
Tsale Kirzner:
