Zapadliskowe Ponds in Żarki

Highlight • Lake

The sinkhole ponds in Żarki, near Libiąż, are an extraordinary example of a landscape transformed by mining activity. They were created as a result of mining damage and subsidence of the land above the former workings, creating a picturesque water area surrounded by forests and meadows. This place attracts nature lovers, fishermen and cyclists who can admire the wildlife, especially the numerous species of water birds. The trails around the ponds are ideal for a leisurely ride, but you should watch out for the marshy terrain in some places. This is an interesting alternative to the more popular water areas in the region, offering peace and closeness to nature.

Barge on the Vistula River

Highlight • Structure

I've been looking for information about this barge, as it seems to have been there for a long time, but I haven't found anything.

Does anyone know anything more about it?
