Four lakes along the pyrite trail

The walk starts at Yellow Lake, in the lower part of the site approached from Wieściszowice. It continues to neighbouring Purple Lake. Both stops were part of the former Nadzieja mining area; their different basins show how water filled the workings in different ways.

The green-marked trail then climbs the hillside to Blue Lake, formerly Nowe Szczęście. After viewing the lake, continue along the green-marked trail to Green Pond in the Gustaw working. This is the highest stop on the route; the further ascent to the summit of Wielka Kopa is not included.

After the final stop, return downhill to Wieściszowice by the same path. Allow for this return when planning the walk. Yellow Lake and Green Pond may be dry, but the workings themselves remain part of the former mining landscape. Follow the paths beside the pools without entering the water or the old adits.
