Osadnik Gajówka, Industrial water reservoir in Przykona Municipality, Poland.

The Gajówka reservoir spans 100 hectares, featuring turquoise waters and steep banks formed from the remnants of a former coal mine.

The site originated from KWB Adamów mining operations and functioned as a storage facility for ash and slag from the Adamów Power Plant until the 1970s.

Local residents refer to this location as Lazurowe Jezioro, reflecting the distinctive blue color created by calcium carbonate deposits in the water.

Visitors can access a designated viewing point at 115 meters above sea level, with free parking available near the paved access road.

The water maintains a high alkalinity level with a pH of 12, resulting in cemented rock formations approximately 40 meters thick beneath the surface.

Location: Gmina Przykona

GPS coordinates: 52.00020,18.58030
