Żabie Doły, Natural and landscape complex in Silesia, Poland
Żabie Doły spans 226 hectares across three municipalities, featuring 12 water reservoirs, railway embankments, and industrial heaps transformed into green spaces.
The area emerged from zinc, lead, and coal mining activities that ceased in the 1950s, leading to ground subsidence and formation of water-filled depressions.
Local high school students from Bytom and Louisenlund played a role in securing protected status for the area in 1997 through their environmental research.
Visitors can access the complex from four directions, with free parking available on Krzyżowa Street in Bytom and six bird observation shelters throughout the area.
The complex contains 129 bird species and numerous plant varieties thriving in an environment where industrial heritage meets natural regeneration.
