Kamencové jezero, Mining lake in Chomutov, Czech Republic
Kamencové jezero is a lake in Chomutov covering about 16 hectares and sitting at an elevation of 337 meters. The water has swimming beaches, a floating pier, and facilities for water sports including boat rentals and paddleboard rentals.
The lake formed in the late 18th century when abandoned mining operations from the 16th to 18th centuries filled with water in the Chomutov region. This transformation from industrial site to recreational space represents a significant shift in how the land has been used over time.
The place has become a hub for outdoor recreation with volleyball courts, basketball courts, miniature golf, and table tennis facilities that show the local passion for sports and active leisure. These different spaces reflect how people in the area spend their free time together.
The lake has multiple access points that lead to different areas with boat rentals, paddleboard rentals, and swimming zones. Visitors should note that access to various activities may vary depending on the season and weather conditions.
The water contains about one percent alum, which prevents aquatic plants from growing and makes the lake exceptionally pleasant for swimming. This natural composition is rare and makes the lake distinctive among local swimming spots.
