Lake of Banyoles, Natural lake in Pla de l'Estany, Spain
Lake Banyoles extends over 107 hectares with a length of 2,100 meters and reaches depths of 46 meters in certain areas.
The formation of Lake Banyoles occurred 250,000 years ago through tectonic movements that created the Pyrenees mountain range.
Twenty small houses called pesqueres line the southern shore, constructed in the late 1800s by wealthy families for recreational activities.
Three designated swimming areas exist at La Caseta de Fusta, Club de natació de Banyoles, and Banys Vells with restaurant facilities.
The lake hosted the rowing competitions during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and contains native fish species including carp, tench, and eel.
