The name of this small lake comes from Princess Daisy Hochberg von Pless (1873–1943), the last owner of Książ. It was one of her favorite places to relax. Interesting ruins here include a viewing tower with a hunting lodge, which the princess ordered built here. The lake itself, sometimes called Zielony, was created in the 19th century as a result of quarrying reef limestone on the slopes of Mount Witosz. The lake has a false bottom due to sediments, dead trees and vegetation. The real depth may be as much as 23 meters.

On the side of the property, a vertical gap of several centimeters without bark - from the ground to a height of about 3 m, probably due to a lightning strike - this is information from a local resident. Near the tree there is an old park and the ruins of a palace.
