A former chalk and marl mine operated by the nearby "Stern" Portland cement factory, founded in 1862 and owned by the Toepffer family. In 1925, a sudden flood of groundwater through a layer of permeable sand led to the quarry's opening. The quarry quickly filled with water. People were immediately evacuated. The quarry was flooded. Emerald Lake was created, which owes its color and name to the high calcium carbonate content in the water and the reflection of light from the chalk bed. In good weather, railway wagons and even workers' tools can still be seen at the bottom of the lake. A concrete bridge, part of the railway track used to transport chalk output to the nearby cement plant, still stands near the lake today.

The Heart Boulder, also known as the Mill Stone, is an erratic. Made of granite, its shape resembles a heart. It is entered in the register of natural monuments. It is also colossal in terms of size: impressive dimensions: circumference 14.5 m, and length over 4 m.

These are the remains of a former grain mill, the history of which dates back over 700 years. The first owners were the Cistercians from Kołbacz (who else ;). Subsequent owners were: the Swedes - during the Thirty Years' War they converted the mill into a gunpowder mill - which was destroyed by fire, Hans Blaurock and his heirs in the 12th - 19th century (again as a grain mill), Friedrich Jaeckel from 1838 who launched the production of paper and bags for the nearby Stern cement plant, and finally Johannes Burmeister - in 1880 he founded a restaurant here which attracted crowds of tourists and this place became the main tourist center in the forest. The history of this place ended abruptly in 1944 when, as a result of war operations, part of the buildings were destroyed and then the whole thing gradually fell into disrepair until it reached its current state, i.e. a few remains in the form of: stairs, the dam embankment and a rotting gate, an overgrown mill pond and foundations and basement vaults.

It is argued that the hills on which the Forest is located were created as a result of the once existing ice sheet, or colloquially a glacier. Numerous boulders were moved with the glacier from the areas of present-day Scandinavia. That is why one of the boulders was named after the glacier and the place from which it probably comes - Swedish Stone. It is a pink-gray, granoplastic boulder (plagioclase-biotite gneiss) with a pegmatite vein, a circumference of 910 cm and a height of 180 m, with deep frost cracks. The boulder is located on a small hill near Swedish Bruk (Droga Chojnowska) about a kilometre south of Swedish Mill. You can get there by the green trail from Lake Szmaragdowe, or the red and then the green trail from the settlement. Bukowy (having previously visited the Chojna stronghold and the Swedish Mill).

A great place for mtb. It reminds me a lot of the Tricity Landscape Park from where I live.

These are the remains of a former grain mill, whose history dates back over 700 years. The first owners were the Cistercians from Kołbacz (and who else ;). Subsequent owners were: the Swedes - during the Thirty Years' War they turned the mill into a powder mill - which was destroyed by fire, Hans Blaurock and his heirs in the 12th - 19th centuries (again as a grain mill), Friedrich Jaeckel from 1838 who started production here paper and bags for the nearby Stern cement plant, and finally Johannes Burmeister - in 1880 he founded a restaurant here which attracted crowds of tourists and the place became the main tourist center in the forest. The history of this place ends abruptly in 1944, when, as a result of war, some of the buildings were destroyed and then the whole thing was gradually devastated, until it reached its present state, i.e. a few remains in the form of: stairs, a dam embankment and a rotting valve, an overgrown mill pond and foundations and basement vaults.

It is proven that the hills on which the Forest is located were created as a result of the ice sheet that once existed here, or commonly known as a glacier. Numerous erratic boulders were moved along with the glacier from the areas of today's Scandinavia. Therefore, one of the erratic boulders was named after the glacier and the place where it probably comes from - Swedish Stone. It is a pink-gray, granoplastic erratic boulder (plagioclase-biotite gneiss) with a pegmatite vein, 910 cm in circumference and 180 m high, with deep frost cracks. The boulder is located on a small hill near Szwedzki Bruk (Chojnowska Road) about a kilometer south of Szwedzki Młyn. You can get there by following the green trail from Lake Szmaragdowe, or the red trail and then the green trail from the estate. Bukowy (having previously visited the Chojna stronghold and Szwedzki Młyn).

If you go to the Polish Baltic coast, you can take a small detour straight to the lake, just 15 km after the border of Germany - Pl podjuche exit, then the lake is directly on the right in the forest after a few km !!!
