Turawa

Turawa is a village in Opole County featuring a large reservoir surrounded by forests and green spaces. The lake provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and walking along its shores.

The land came into possession of Martin Scholtz von Löwencron in 1712, who shaped early development. The current character of the place took form when the reservoir was built in the early twentieth century.

The village reflects agricultural ways of life through its seasonal celebrations and community events. Walking through the settlement, you can observe how local traditions remain woven into daily routines and gatherings.

The village is easily reached from Opole and provides accommodation in campgrounds and resort facilities along the waterfront. Visitors will find restaurants and shops for everyday needs.

The lake was created by flooding valleys and meadows, requiring three villages to be submerged. Today it has become a recreation center for water sports and leisure that draws people from across the region.
