Poraj Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Zalew Porajski, also known as Poraj Reservoir, is an artificial lake located in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. Created in the 1970s by damming the Warta River, it spans approximately 5.5 square kilometers. The reservoir serves multiple purposes, including flood control, water supply, and recreational activities. Its scenic surroundings and calm waters make it a popular destination for sailing, fishing, and birdwatching. The area is equipped with facilities such as marinas, beaches, and camping sites, catering to both day-trippers and longer stays.

Asphalt path through the Park Krajobrazowy Orlich Gniazd
