The nature complex "Szopienice-Borki", Nature reserve in Sosnowiec, Poland.
The Szopienice-Borki complex encompasses 157 hectares of land featuring three main ponds: Morawa, Borki, and Hubertus, surrounded by diverse vegetation and wetlands.
The area transformed from industrial sand extraction sites in the 1960s into protected grounds, receiving official nature reserve status in the year 2000.
Local residents gather at the reserve's ponds for outdoor activities, maintaining connections with nature while preserving the region's environmental heritage.
Visitors can access multiple walking paths around the three ponds, with dedicated areas for swimming at Morawa pond and water sports at Hubertus.
The reserve houses numerous water bird colonies, including a substantial gull population that creates natural soundscapes across the wetland environment.
