Lake Solina, Artificial reservoir in Bieszczady Mountains, Poland

Lake Solina stretches across 22 square kilometers with three islands and contains 472 million cubic meters of water at an elevation of 482 meters.

The construction of Lake Solina in 1968 required the complete submersion of nine villages and the relocation of their inhabitants to create this water reservoir.

The lake area transformed from a region of Boyko Ukrainians, Jews, and Poles into a recreational destination after World War II and subsequent population changes.

The reservoir supplies hydroelectric power through Poland's tallest dam while offering facilities for sailing, windsurfing, and fishing throughout the warmer months.

A 1.5-kilometer cableway introduced in 2022 carries visitors over the Solina Dam, providing views of the lake's numerous bays and surrounding landscape.
