Gilów Reservoir (disused post-flotation reservoir) was built in the late 1960s on the site of the former village of Gilów, which no longer exists.

It was used to store flotation waste from the KGHM mines. It was closed in 1977, the same year that the larger and more modern "Żelazny Most" (Iron Bridge) was launched.

After its decommissioning, the process of reclamation began. Over the years, the reservoir, filled with sediment and water, began to resemble a natural lake. Reforestation and natural plant succession are slowly taking place. It is now a refuge for wild birds and a natural attraction, although its industrial origins must still be remembered.
