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.
