old quarry kamyki , gluszyca, lower silesian voivodeship

This turquoise reservoir, located at an altitude of 585 m above sea level, hidden among the rust-colored eastern slopes of the Ostoja massif in the Suche Mountains, covered with trees, is a former melaphyre quarry. Melafir is a rock characterized by durability, hardness and abrasion resistance, making it an ideal material used, for example, as railway ballast. Mining works in G?uszyca Górna were carried out by the Germans during and after the war. The quarry in G?uszyca has been closed since the 1970s. After the exploitation of the area was completed, the excavation was flooded with water. Over time, the slopes were overgrown with pines, spruces and beeches.
