Kadzielnia - Kielce, Poland
User www.kielce.vel.pl has posted this picture of the Kadzielnia hill in Kielce, Poland. Kielce is a city of about 200,000 citizens with history dating back to the origins of Poland in the 10th century. For the last 500 years, Kielce was an important industrial city due to its richness in natural resources. The picture above is a good example of that - since the 18th century until the 1960s, natural lime resources in the Kadzielnia hill were extracted in an open-pit mine. Afterwards the area was turned into a nature reserve with an emerald-coloured lake and an amphitheatre for 5000 spectators, drilled in the hill’s stone.
