Pogoria III, Artificial lake in Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland
Pogoria III is an artificial lake in Dąbrowa Górnicza created from former mining areas. The water body features a large sandy shoreline and varying depths throughout its basin.
The lake formed in 1975 when former sand quarries were deliberately flooded with water from the Pogoria River system. This transformation turned mining areas into a recreational water body.
The southern beach hosts summer events including sports competitions and music festivals that gather local communities together. These gatherings shape how people spend their leisure time during warm months.
The shore has a large sandy beach suitable for swimming and relaxation. Several amenities and food vendors operate in the area during summer months.
The lake bottom is covered with dense aquatic plants that shelter several fish species. These underwater plant beds create a complex food web for perch, pike, and other water creatures.
