Zapora na Łomnicy, Stone dam in Karpacz, Poland.

The Lomnitztalsperre dam features a 105-meter crown length and creates a reservoir with a storage capacity of 540,000 cubic meters.

The dam was constructed between 1910 and 1915 as part of Prussia's flood control program following the devastating floods of 1897.

The structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods, incorporating local stone masonry techniques in its curved gravity design.

Five spillway openings regulate water flow during high rainfall periods, protecting the Łomnica Valley from potential flooding.

The dam's stone construction creates cascading water effects, while the surrounding area serves as a habitat for mountain flora and fauna.
