[3] The spoil tip is located in the southern part of Tarnowskie Góry, in the Bobrowniki Śląskie-Piekary Rudne [pl] district, approximately 4 km from the city center, near the border with Bytom.
[4] Other species present include grey hair-grass, blue hair grass, goldmoss stonecrop, mouse-ear hawkweed, cypress spurge, and carline thistle.
[13] The fauna of the spoil tip is represented by numerous insects, birds (such as common pheasants and grey partridges), the European hare, and thermophilic reptiles, mainly lizards.
Due to its height and the easy access to the flat summit in the western and northwestern parts, the spoil tip is a popular viewpoint.
[17] At the end of March 2018, scientists from the Faculty of Earth Sciences at the University of Silesia in Katowice began research on the spoil tip, aiming, among other objectives, to create its three-dimensional model.
[18][19] Since 2018, as part of the Best Practices for Enhancing Biodiversity and Active Conservation of Galman Meadows in the Silesian-Cracow Region project (BioGalmany), the spoil tip has also been studied by researchers from the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection at the same university.
[22] The primary threat to the spoil tip, particularly in terms of intensifying erosional processes – especially on the northern slope – is its use by motorcyclists and quad drivers.
[23] The state of the spoil tip is also at risk due to the extraction of material from which it was formed, an activity observed near the northeastern base of the site.
