An artificial reservoir (it turns out that the locals consider it the First, not the Second) on Czarci Potok. A quiet place just west of Pełcznica. A beautiful place, with beautiful forests on the banks of the pond. Along the pond runs an excellent, wide road, from which it is worth deviating a bit to take a break here.

The name of this small lake comes from Princess Daisy Hochberg von Pless (1873–1943), the last owner of Książ. It was one of her favorite places to relax. Interesting ruins here include a viewing tower with a hunting lodge, which the princess ordered built here. The lake itself, sometimes called Zielony, was created in the 19th century as a result of quarrying reef limestone on the slopes of Mount Witosz. The lake has a false bottom due to sediments, dead trees and vegetation. The real depth may be as much as 23 meters.

Unfortunately, it's in disrepair. The same goes for the large outbuildings. A rather large complex.

Moving around the park itself by bike is difficult, the overgrown gravel paths have a barrier on the trail and in some places you have to walk.
