Turawskie Lake, Retention reservoir in Upper Silesia, Poland

Turawskie Lake spans across 24 square kilometers with a maximum depth of 13 meters, surrounded by pine forests in the Mała Panew river basin.

The construction of this reservoir between 1933 and 1939 required the relocation of several villages, including Zamoście and Krzyślina, with residents moving to nearby areas.

The northern and southern shores feature established holiday destinations where visitors participate in water activities throughout the summer season.

The reservoir maintains water levels in the Oder River while generating 1.2 MW of hydroelectric power from the combined flows of Mała Panew and Libawa rivers.

Two additional lakes, Średnie and Małe, formed from the gravel extraction sites used during the original dam construction process.
