The two strange structures, which are supposed to represent grottos, are located not far from the famous Rakotzbrücke in the Rhododendronpark in Kromlau and are built from light natural stone and dark basalt.

Lake Africa, or the "Łuska C" pit. Its current name comes from the reservoir's shape, which resembles the African continent. It was created by filling the open-pit excavation of the post-war "Przyjaźń Narodów – Szyb Babina" mine with rainwater and partially underground water. The lake covers over 20 hectares, and its maximum depth is 24 meters. A massive observation tower and several terraces were built on its shore for observation.
