White Jar<\/strong> is a depression in the slope called a nival niche transformed into a ravine, created by a glacier about 10 million years ago. It is located exactly on the northern slope of R\u00f3wnia pod \u015anie\u017ck\u0105, between Ma\u0142a Kopa and the Strzecha Akademicka shelter. Its bottom is located at an altitude of about 1200 meters. The upper edge reaches 1350 m above sea level. In the 19th century, gold was searched for in this region and galena with an admixture of silver was mined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bia\u0142y Jar - an unusual structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This place has a very characteristic shape resembling a funnel. The terrain is wide upwards and slightly narrows downwards, turning into a ravine. Unfortunately, such construction is conducive to the formation of dangerous snow avalanches in this place. Therefore, the hiking trails leading through White Jar<\/strong> closes for the winter period. The snow cover here lasts for the longest time throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slopes of Bia\u0142y Jar are covered with mountain pine, and many species of herbs also grow here. From the upper edge of Bia\u0142y Jar, deep fissure furrows extend downwards. These furrows reveal light gray granite weathering, from which the name Jaru derives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u0142oty Potok, a tributary of the \u0141omnica river, has its source in Bia\u0142y Jar.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bia\u0142y Jar \u2013 a place of remembrance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This unique place also witnessed a huge tragedy. In 1968, an avalanche came down here, 800 meters long and 80 meters wide, which took as many as 24 people, of whom 19 died. At the site of the tragedy, a symbolic stone was placed in memory of the victims, but it was destroyed by another avalanche. The present pedestal was erected in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
