Heaps in the Hałda On The Air Diploma Event
H-12 Hałda Popłuczkowa (328 m ASL)
The Tarnów Mountains tailings pile was created as a result of the accumulation of dolomite waste during intensive mining of lead, silver and zinc ores at the Royal Frederick Mine (German: Königliche Friedrichsgrube) in Bobrowniki, now part of Tarnowskie Góry. Created between 1840 and 1912 at the processing plant, it is a testament to the industrial history of the region. Today it serves a recreational function, offering walking paths and viewpoints, and is part of the protected Cultural Park “Hałda Popłuczkowa”.
