Olavskilden in Fjære is a historical spring closely associated with St. Olav. The spring is located near the pilgrimage trail and old pilgrimage routes, making it an important stopping point for pilgrims. The water from the spring is considered holy, and it is a tradition that those who drink or touch it receive a blessing.

The spring also has a practical function, as it is used as a water source for Nøgne Ø's sake, which is the only sake produced in Europe. In addition, pilgrimage walks are arranged from Olavskilden to Fjære Church, which gives visitors the opportunity to experience both nature and cultural history. The spring was renovated by Johan Jørgen Ugland, who also contributed to the maintenance of Fjære.
