Czarna Studnia (Black Well)

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.
