The "Black Pond" is actually a mining sinkhole (mining damage), which over time turned into a pond.

A very atmospheric place in the heart of the Silesian agglomeration. In the case of intensive exploitation (environment), when the terrain descends by a dozen or so meters, the basin flooded with water may have a large area. Then there is a significant decrease in the number of live stands. An example of the greatest damage of this type in the Katowice Forest District is a sinkhole above the Śląsk mine, where the area was lowered by over 30 m. The situation has not stabilized there yet, the area is still working. Before the sinking, there was already a 6-hectare Black Pond here - of anthropogenic origin. On the map showing the current state, it is marked with a red line. The blue dashed line marks the shape of the reservoir at the turn of 2014/15. The surface of the water ranges from approx. 20 to 30 ha (depending on the water level). https://wazki.pl/ruda_slaska_czarny_staw.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNyhUXXQjpQ
