Beautiful ponds in the forests between Toruń and Przysiek, with an interesting history. It turns out that during World War II, the locals exploited peat here - quite heavily - which served as fuel and was free throughout the war.

Przysieckie Ponds - the history of the creation of the reservoirs is connected with the period of World War II, during which the inhabitants of the surrounding towns and Toruń began mass exploitation of shallow deposits of glacial peat in this place. Peat was extracted as fuel throughout the period of the German occupation. The exploitation of peat resulted in the creation of peat excavations up to 1.5 meters deep. As a result of the action of subsurface waters, the excavations were flooded, thus creating a complex of water reservoirs.

Przysieckie Ponds - the history of the creation of the reservoirs is related to the period of World War II, during which the inhabitants of nearby towns and Toruń began mass exploitation of shallow deposits of post-glacial peat in this place. Peat was mined as fuel throughout the period of German occupation. Peat exploitation resulted in the creation of peat excavations up to 1.5 meters deep. As a result of the action of subcutaneous waters, the workings were flooded, thus creating a set of water reservoirs.
