Geocache Description:


Glinianki Jelonek i znajdujace sie po drugiej stronie ulicy Polczynskiej Glinianki Sznajdra, to pozostalosci wyrobisk gliny eksploatowanych przez powstale w 1903 roku na terenie wsi Odolany i folwarku Jelonek Zaklady Cegielniane i Fabryka Dachówek “Bracia Schneider”.

W tym rejonie funkcjonowalo tez wiele innych, mniejszych cegielni. ich istnieniu swiadcza liczne glinianki np: Glinianki Cietrzewia, Krancowa, Podwójna, Staw Koziorozca (Wlochy), Glinianki Szczesliwickie (Szczesliwice)... i wiele innych, czesto juz nieistniejacych (podobno glinianki byly np. w Parku Sowinskiego).

Okolice wiekszosci stawów sa teraz malowniczymi parkami, otoczenie Glinianek Jelonek i Sznajdra sa obecnie na wpól dzikie, spotkac mozna zajace, a zdarza sie, ze i sarny, sa tez niestety zaniedbane i zasmiecone, ale od kilku lat mówi sie o ich rewitalizacji.

Natomiast o tym co skrywaja glinianki przy Polczynskiej, kraza miejskie legendy, a to ze zatopione sa w nich wagoniki koleby (czyzby z czasów funkcjonowania cegielni?), niektórzy wspominaja tez o czolgu, a na jednym z forów internauta opowiada, ze z dziecinstwa pamieta duzego fiata, który tu zatonal. Faktem jest, ze w gliniankach sporo sie zmiesci, wyrobiska sa glebokie, z tego powodu kapiel w stawach jest bardzo niebezpieczna i zdarzaly sie tu niejednokrotnie przypadki utoniecia.


Glinianka Jelonek (zólty kolor) na mapie z 1934
Clay pit Jelonek (yellow) a the map from 1934, cg. means brickyards

Clay pit ponds "Jelonek" (near waypoint), and "Schneider's" (at the other side of Polczynska Street), are the remains of clay pits exploited by Brick Plant and Roof Tile Factory "Schneider Brothers". This factory was founded in 1903 at the territory of Odolany Village, and Jelonek Farm.

There were many smaller brickyards in this region. And there are many other clay pit ponds in this, and neighboring city districts. Now many ponds, and their surroundins are changed into picturesque park. Clay pit ponds "Jelonek", and "Schneider's" are still quite wild, you can meet a rabbit or roe deer here. Unfortunately you can find some garbage here, because it's neglected. But you can read articles in local newspapers, that there are also plans to arrange this area as park too.

You can hear some urban legends and rumors, about small railway cars, cars, even tank sunk in ponds near Polczynska Street. Well, it's quite possible, because clay pits are very deep, as you can see at old photo: link . It's very dangerous to swim in theese ponds, and many people have drowned here.
