The station was built at the end of the 19th century on the territory of the village of Wodna, hence the name. After the liquidation of the mine in 2000, it lost its significance. Subsequently, part of the building was used for residential purposes.

Here you can rest during your hike or take shelter from the rain. You can also visit the local attraction, Devil's Mountain.

It's worth cycling, but avoid weekends during the day. A huge number of pedestrians, it's basically impossible to cycle :)

Smooth pavement around the lake, but if you want to hit the road, God forbid you go there on a weekend, giant slalom between people.
