Let’s kick off our Poland series with one of the many power plants we were exploring on our adventure. On a lonely island in the middle of a large Polish city, this defunct but not yet completely abandoned facility is located. We gathered intel on how to infiltrate this massive structure and learned about CCTV on the property. So, to get on the site, we needed to be creative.

Some history from our old town of Walsenburg, Co
The plant was built to provide energy to the Walsen Mine, Walsen Camp, and the town of Walsenburg, the power plant is the last remaining structure of the once bustling Walsen Camp, a coal mining settlement dating from the late 1870s. At its peak the Walsen Camp boasted over 200 homes and a population of 1,200
The Walsen power plant was built in 1898. Coal was trucked in from the nearby Walsen and Robinson Mines that fired the power plant’s boilers and provided light and power to pump out water for approximately 400 men working deep inside the mine’s 50 miles of underground tunnels and shafts.
Where we live outside of town, there are old foundations and huge old piles of coal. Back in the day, minors built and lived in our area; they called it Coal town. There are areas in the overall ranch properties where we live that have abandoned tunnels underground from the mining and coal excavation. Some of the properties not far from us cannot have drinking wells, they have to truck in water for their cistern for daily use. Our property has a beautiful well with no issues. Our neighbor has a cistern and gets water once a week for drinking and bathing.
See image below of the coal piles.
