The town, for which the salt mine was a guarantee of development and better future, suddenly stood on the edge of its existence. From that moment, in October 1977, it stopped developing, a significant part of the population was resettled to other regions of Piła Province, those who remained faced the fact that there will be no more development, no better life associated with the mine. Fear has arisen that what is happening underground, somewhere very deep, as a result of reckless human actions, full of ambition and pride in the laws of nature, focused on profit and efficiency, poses a constant threat. Fatality has hung over the area for many decades, and the abandoned mine buildings towering over the surroundings are a grim threat that the dormant forces of nature may at any time unleash their destructive power. Nemesis may demand its revenge.

And so you have to live in that fear for several decades now.
