The lake, which is only separated from the sea by a narrow strip, is not a natural lake. According to Elban residents, it is a former mine shaft that has filled with sulfur water. Hematite, pyrite and magnesite were previously mined here. Remains of old mining facilities are still preserved in the bay. People used to swim in the lake because it was supposedly good for the skin, but today swimming is absolutely forbidden for safety reasons.
The sand on the shore of the lake and towards the sea is extremely black and glitters a thousand times over. This is due to the fine hematite and pyrite sand mixed with the normal sand.
