      SUCCESS MADE IN
      BRUDZEW.

      The economy of Brudzew Commune has for many years been based on the brown coal excavation. Until the present day Adamów S.A. PAK Brown Coal Mine has been the largest employer in the commune. The work in the mine including operation of complicated multi-bucket excavators accustomed the staff to perform responsible tasks.

      At the territory of the Commune there are enterprises which have also achieved success in other trades. The most competitive enterprises operate in the sector of microbiology and veterinary medicine. The projects undertaken by them are unique on the regional, national and even European level. These comprise Vet-Lab Brudzew and ProBiotics Polska.

      ProBiotics Polska – national leader in the production and sales of probiotics

      Probiotics are products containing micro-organisms which have a beneficial influence on human health and environment and substitute chemical substances. Probiotic mother cultures are produced in the modern probiotic plant in Bratuszyn owned by the company. It is the first such activity in Europe and the third one in the world! The plant itself is almost entirely energetically self-efficient. The company products are used, among others, in soaps, cleaning products for households, soil fertilising preparations and those protecting plants and animals against diseases (including chicken farms) as well as products which support human health and enrich human intestinal micro-flora. The Bratuszyn company establishes a nationwide network of regional plants and sales and training centres which popularise and sell probiotics.

      REVITALISATION.

      The open-pit mine that has been operating for 50 years is just finishing its production. This gives a unique opportunity to introduce to the Commune new functions, including the spectacular development of tourism connecting education, leisure and emotions. The operation of the mine has caused changes to the physical and social landscape of the commune on a massive scale. An open-pit form of excavation has resulted in the creation of incredible enormous basins of the width ranging from several hundred metres to over 2 kilometres and the depth of up to 55 metres.

      As a result of the completion of mining activities and flooding of the mine excavation, the Bogdałów and Janiszew water reservoirs has been created. Other much larger waterbodies are to be created in Koźmin, Głowy and Kwiatkowo. These reservoirs will create conditions for recreation, sunbathing and sailing. They will significantly raise the tourist and landscape attractiveness of the Brudzew Commune area.

      Multi-year plans which are to create conditions for the sustainable development of degraded areas

      The commune self-government has initiated the processes of revitalisation in post-mine areas.

      Communal Revitalisation Programme

      It will be prepared thanks to the subsidies granted by the Greater Poland Province and the Ministry of Development. In effect to this programme, simplified procedures of spatial planning as well as tax exemptions for investors may be used in post-mine areas.

      Creation of the Social Cooperative

      This will be a social economy enterprise whose activities will be oriented at the use of the achievements and heritage of the open-pit mine as a tourist attraction. The extent of its activity also includes the development of handicraft combining local art, culture and ecological thinking in the field of wooden products and cuisine.

      The commencement of urban and architectural works in terms of the creation of the Discovery Centre

      Indication of the venues for the implementation of basic functions required to support tourism. The conceptual design of modern buildings with exposition and educational functions, which will become the new flagship of the Commune of Brudzew. The creation of the concept and charting of tourist trails with the use of local potential.

      KEY PROJECTS.

      The Discovery Park

      The Discovery Park is aimed to become a nationwide tourist attraction. It will present globally unique geological and archaeological findings. The first of them is a fossil forest from before 12 000 years; so far we know only several trees in Europe dating back to that period! The second one constitutes an extraordinary settlement from the Roman times located at the Amber Trail. This settlement had functioned for approximately 800 years! In the course of archaeological works it was possible to obtain thousands of invaluable and excellently preserved findings.

      Assumptions for the construction of the Discovery Park:

      • location by one of the four lakes,

      • its design is to be prepared by a renown architectural firm,

      • attempts to obtain a gigantic multi-bucket excavators as one of the Park exhibits are in progress,

      • the reconstruction of the settlement located there in Roman times is to be one of the Park’s attractions,

      • the Park is to be a centre of tourism and the starting point for thematic tourist trails,

      • its development and operation will be connected with the operation of the local social cooperative,

      • a hotel, restaurant and a café are also planned in the vicinity of the Park - the Commune is going to seek investors for their construction.

      Thematic tourist trails

      Thematic tourist trails constitute an idea to combine attractions of the Brudzew Commune with the Discovery Park. They will be implemented around the following attributes:
