Residents of Jelenia Gora, Poland are raging on social media about the Holiday Park & Resortwhere excavators dug through embankments, which caused water to spill onto the streets, flooding the city. The resort belongs to Piotr Sledza Polish millionaire who publishes the behind-the-scenes details of his luxurious daily life on Instagram.

Jelenia Gora is one of the cities that is suffering from September 2024 floods. The streets have been closed to traffic, and there have been numerous floods and waterlogging. The city’s residents are raging on social media about the Holiday Park & Resort, where excavators dug through embankments, which caused water to spill onto the streets.

The residents of Jelenia Góra are sounding the alarm: "Excavators dug through embankments". They blame the millionaire.

The flood situation in Jelenia Gora is dramatic. In a conversation with Onet.plone of the city’s residents reported that the dams in Cieplice and Sobieszow districts have overflowed.

— It is raining all the time. It was said that it was supposed to stop raining at 2pm, but it didn’t. People are still fighting, preparing to evacuate. The main roads are not bad. You can get to Szklarska Poreba. It’s good that the bridges were renovated, because 10 years ago you couldn’t get to some places. Now these renovated bridges are still passable. But there are a lot of places that have already flooded. The water is flowing down with sand, stones and branches. Driving on such a road is like driving through a big stream. Cieplice and Pakoszow is flooded, the lower Piechowice is being torn down – the woman tells us.

Among others, the Holiday Park & Resort, owned by Polish millionaire Piotr Śledź, was flooded. This topic is of great interest to the residents of Jelenia Gora due to the fact that the resort was built on floodplains.

Under the posts on the Facebook profile of Jerzy Luzniak, the mayor of Jelenia Gora, you can find many comments in which residents do not hide their indignation about the activities related to Holiday Park & Resort.

"Someone should take an interest in this resort in Cieplice! They are digging up embankments with excavators and releasing water that is flooding the streets" – one user wrote.

In another comment, a city resident wrote that an excavator from Holiday Park & Resort, driving along the railway tracks, got to the floodbank, where it began to dig a culvert. "This small embankment, perpendicular to Sobieszowska Street, used to protect the areas that are currently flooding at Lubanska Street. (…) The owner will now save his land by flooding the residents of Cieplice. Do they have the right to dig through this embankment? Maybe someone will be interested in this when the weather calms down" – we read.

Onet.pl interlocutor confirmed that several excavators "broke down local embankments so that water could flow out of the resort into the street".

"This caused the flooding and cutting off of the entire Cieplicka, Sobieszowska, cemetery and train station" – another women said.

There is no entry on the resort’s website or social media about the flood. Commenters who booked a stay on the upcoming date pointed out the difficulty of calling the resort’s hotline. Business Insider Poland sent an inquiry on the matter. We tried to reach the resort, but to no avail.
