Another trip from the planned project for 2024 Korony Śląska completed! This time we visited two heaps - one of the three dumps of the Dębieńsko mine in Czerwionka Leszczyny.
(Region: Rybnik Plateau with a height of 259m above sea level)
According to sources available online, the heap cones are to be named: Ciosek, Marianna and Dębieńsko, referring to the names of the mines that once operated in this area. The author of this idea was one of the commune's inhabitants - Piotr Flajszok. In addition to the above-mentioned names, Karlik, Barbórka and Karolinka were also proposed.
The commune expressed its support in this matter, but the ownership deed poses an obstacle. The current owner of Stożki is the State Treasury and it is owned by the Management Board of the Mine Restructuring Company, so it is not a municipal area. Nevertheless, these areas (cones or humps, if you prefer) have been included in the landscape conservation protection zone. An order was established to preserve the shape and height of the Three Humps.
According to available sources, a survey was conducted in which the residents clearly defined their position by choosing the names Marianna, Ciosek and Dębieńsko, and an application with these names will be submitted to the minister responsible for public administration. If treated favorably, there will no longer be three nameless cones on the maps, but their new names. A similar use took place in Rydułtowy and the well-known Szarlota, which rises to a height of 407 m above sea level.
What's more interesting, in 2020, young residents of the commune hung the Silesian flag on the highest peak. Since then, it has become a permanent part of the landscape of this place and is its symbol.
Heaps have been an entertainment center for enduro enthusiasts for years, but not only them. Cyclists, pedestrians and even mountaineers are often seen there. A similar entertainment center is Knurowska Hałda, one of the largest (if not the largest) in the Silesian Voivodeship. According to available sources, it covers an area of approximately 100 ha and was part of the Central Mining Waste Landfill in Knurów. Reclamation works are currently underway and are expected to last until 2026.
