Czarna Struga: Puszcza Słupecka Reserve and Surroundings
Czarna Struga is a small forest settlement in Nieporęt Municipality. It is neither part of the village of Nieporęt nor a separate administrative village (sołectwo), but a distinct locality set among extensive forests. Its name also refers to the local forest district and is often used for the whole area.
Nearby lie the Puszcza Słupecka and Łęgi Czarnej Strugi nature reserves and the valley of the Czarna River. At the beginning of the 20th century there was a manor farm here, served by the narrow-gauge railway running from Struga to the peat mine in Izabelin.
The surrounding forests still bear traces of former industrial activity and historical events. Today Czarna Struga is above all a quiet forest spot on the map of the municipality, surrounded by valuable natural areas.
