Goczałkowice Reservoir

The Goczałkowice Reservoir spans 32 square kilometers across the Silesian landscape, storing 168 million cubic meters of water from the Vistula River.

The construction of this water management system in 1956 transformed the local terrain by creating an artificial lake through the damming of the Vistula River.

Regional festivals take place near the reservoir's shores throughout the year, connecting local communities through traditional celebrations and outdoor gatherings.

The reservoir provides drinking water to neighboring communities while maintaining water levels during dry seasons and preventing floods during heavy rainfall periods.

The reservoir functions as a sanctuary for migratory birds, offering protected nesting areas and feeding grounds along its extensive shoreline.
