The main part of the reserve, with an area of almost 76 ha, is located in the Radostowice forestry in the Kobiór Forest Inspectorate, in the center of the Kobiórski forests, where biocenotic systems characteristic of river valleys are protected in the upper course of Korzeniec Południowy. The subject of protection here are, among others: reed forest patches, sphagnum alder forest, forest reed complex, riparian forest, i.e. forest communities formed under the influence of stagnant waters, where no economic activities are carried out. The South Korzenic on the Pszczyna Plain is one of the few watercourses that has resisted the negative impact of anthropopressure while preserving rare vegetation. The greatest wealth of "Babczyna Dolina" is the bryoflora, i.e. a huge number of bryophytes - 61, and liverworts - 20. This is a sensation in the Pszczyna-Kobiórski managed forests dominated by pine monoculture, but also on the map of the Silesian Voivodeship there are not many such places. https://kobior.katowice.lasy.gov.pl/aktualnosci/-/asset_publisher/1M8a/content/babczyna-dolina-w-dobrej-kondycji https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nDb9hH4pL0

A very atmospheric place in the heart of the Silesian agglomeration. In the case of intensive exploitation (environment), when the terrain descends by a dozen or so meters, the basin flooded with water may have a large area. Then there is a significant decrease in the number of live stands. An example of the greatest damage of this type in the Katowice Forest District is a sinkhole above the Śląsk mine, where the area was lowered by over 30 m. The situation has not stabilized there yet, the area is still working. Before the sinking, there was already a 6-hectare Black Pond here - of anthropogenic origin. On the map showing the current state, it is marked with a red line. The blue dashed line marks the shape of the reservoir at the turn of 2014/15. The surface of the water ranges from approx. 20 to 30 ha (depending on the water level). https://wazki.pl/ruda_slaska_czarny_staw.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNyhUXXQjpQ

The oldest of Murcek's legends concerns the backwoods located in this area, called by the locals Siągarnia. It says that it was there that a certain witch wanted St. Clement, a student of Cyril and Methodius, who at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries was to Christianize the area. Siągarnia was located on the road to Klemensowa Górka and Lędziny, which are the oldest named places in this area; it was also the main Krakow-Wroclaw route and the Levantine trade route. Long before the mine was established, in the vicinity of today's Wanda Hill, there was a forest colony of tar makers, i.e. people who burn charcoal for the forge in Paprocany. In the 17th century, in a place called Rudne Kotliska, coal was dug that came out to the surface. Evidence of its use is an entry in the books of Pszczyna from 1657 about the use of Murckowski coal in Kuźnia Jaroszowice. http://www.polskaniezwykla.pl/web/place/25525,katowice-murcki---historia--legendy-i-slady-po-dawnych-kopalnianych-szybach.html

Tadeusz Oak - a natural monument in Katowice, located in the southern part of the city, near Hamerla, in the Murcki auxiliary unit, in the Murckowski Forest complex. It is a 300-year-old tree of the species pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), 30 meters high and 437 centimeters high at breast height. This tree was established as a natural monument by the Katowice City Council by a resolution of June 1, 2017, along with 23 other trees. On the basis of the same resolution, the City Council named the tree Tadeusz. This name commemorates Tadeusz Norman, a long-standing forest inspectorate of the Katowice Forest District, who worked for the shaping, durability and development of Upper Silesian forest complexes. Hamerla - a forest settlement in Katowice, in the Murcki auxiliary unit, in the southern part of the Murckow Forest. It is located one kilometer from the border between Katowice and Lędziny. The settlement was founded by the Hamerla family (hence its name). In the 1940s, the inhabitants moved out, leaving the area as a gift for the Katowice Forest District. Currently, it consists of two residential houses. In Hamerla, there is the seat of the Daniel hunting club in Tychy and a drone belonging to the Silesian Beekeepers Association. Trutowisko was established in 1953 by the Poviat Beekeepers Association in Tychy. Meetings of beekeepers are organized here, and beekeeping is also popularized here. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C4%85b_Tadeusz https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamerla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbaxOaLr0iw
