Rezerwat przyrody Jeziorko Daisy, Nature reserve in Lower Silesia, Poland.
Rezerwat przyrody Jeziorko Daisy is a nature reserve in Lower Silesia, Poland, built around a flooded limestone quarry with greenish water. The quarry is surrounded by beech forest, and the site also features two old lime kilns and a former hunting lodge.
The site was used for limestone extraction from 1870 by the Hochberg family, who built two lime kilns there. After quarrying stopped, the pit slowly filled with water, and one of the kilns was converted into a hunting lodge by Princess Daisy.
The reserve takes its name from Princess Daisy of Pless, a prominent figure in Silesian aristocratic life at the turn of the 20th century. The old hunting lodge she had built on the site is still standing and gives the place a sense of history that goes beyond its natural setting.
The reserve is reached on foot from Lubiechów, where parking is available, via marked trails that lead through the forest to the lake. The paths circle the water and pass by the main points of interest, so no off-trail walking is needed.
The lake floor is covered with layers of sediment and sunken tree trunks that form a false bottom, which can shift or collapse unexpectedly. This makes diving here risky even for trained divers, who risk getting trapped or disoriented beneath the unstable layer.
