The Jezioro Kamienne (German Kamin-See ) is an inland lake in the very east of the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and is located in the area of the urban and rural municipality Polanów ( Pollnow ) in the Powiat Koszaliński ( Köslin district ).
The Jezioro Kamienne is located near the voivodship road 205 ( Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) - Bobolice ( Bublitz )) between Polanów ( Pollnow , 10 km) and Bobolice (15 km) in the immediate vicinity of Żydowo ( Sydow ). In the immediate vicinity of the shore there is the small village of Kierzkowo ( Grünheide ) in the north of the lake and in the southeast of Kamień ( Kaminhof ) in the formerly so-called Kamin-Wald . From 1898 until the section was closed, there was a railway station in the southwest called Kaminsee on the Schlawe – Pollnow – Breitenberg railway operated by the Schlawer Bahnen .
The name of the lake is derived from Wendish "Kamen" and means "stone", in Polish: "Kamień".
The Jezioro Kamienne covers an area of 112.5 hectares. It is 160 meters above sea level and therefore more than 80 meters higher than the Jezioro Bobięcińskie Wielkie ( Great Lake Papenzin ), which is only two kilometers further east in the Pomeranian Voivodeship . Together with this it belongs to a large number of lakes within the Pojezierze Bytowski ("Bütower Seenplatte") in the east of the Pomeranian Lake District .
The lake area has been inhabited since ancient times. Two dugout canoes have been found in the lake. The region was owned by the Swenzonen in 1308 . This gave on 30 April 1321 the Great Papenzin Lake with the water's edge of 4 ropes within 200 hooves between it and the fire-See the Cistercian - Kloster Pelplin in West Prussia . From there the area is said to have come to the Buckow monastery .
Once a gravel-like sand was found on the banks of the Kamin lake near Eichberg (Polish: Krzewie), washed up by the brook (formerly called Putk ) near Grünheide (Kierzkowo), which was used for forging the "Sydower scythes " , known far beyond Pomerania the slow cooling of the scythe blades was particularly suitable. This silica sand was washed and dried for use in the blacksmith's shop.
Before 1945, the Kamin-See was in the district of Schlawe in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The southeast part belonged to the district of Breitenberg (Gołogóra), the remaining part to the district of Sydow (Żydowo).
Of importance is the 1971 built by the Poles by German plans Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Żydowo (Elektrownia Żydowo) that the difference in height between the Jezioro Kamienne and the Jezioro Kwiecko ( Lower Lake used) and generates electrical energy force (with a capacity of 157 megawatts).
Where the lake is today, there used to be - so the legend says it - a town called Kamin with a large church. The city went under, but beams were found in the lake even later. This downfall is described as follows:
“The people in the town of Kamin were wicked wizards and witches who did joke to everyone. One day a horse is supposed to be shod in town. It got restless and hit the ground a few times with a hoof, where there was a stone. It jumped in two, and a jet of water came up from where it had been lying. The rise got higher and higher and got bigger and bigger. After all, it was taller than the houses in town, all of which were flooded and collapsed. It happened so quickly that no one could save himself. This is said to have happened on a New Year's night; therefore one hears the church bells ringing from the bottom of the lake that night. The spirits of those who have fallen down come up and wash their shirts until they are completely white. The walls of the city can still be seen far below ... "
