Stara Baba, Post-industrial pond in Rudnicze district, Poznań, Poland
The water reservoir formed in a former clay pit features dense reed beds along its shores, with willows and poplars growing around the perimeter.
The pond emerged from extensive brickyard excavations that operated during the construction boom in Poznań at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The site carries an unusual name, Stara Baba, which translates to Old Woman in Polish and connects to regional folklore traditions.
The pond receives water from the Skórzyna stream and sits within the Kopanina I ecological site, providing a natural habitat for various species.
In 2006, researchers documented the presence of European beavers establishing their territory in this post-industrial water body.
