Lake Rusałka, Urban reservoir in Poznań, Poland.
Lake Rusałka extends across 36.7 hectares with wooded shores and walking paths, offering a natural environment within the urban setting of Poznań.
The lake emerged in 1943 through the damming of Bogdanka River, with construction occurring during the German occupation of Poland in World War II.
The name Rusałka originates from Slavic mythology, referring to water nymphs who were believed to inhabit lakes and rivers in Eastern European folklore.
The northern shore features a supervised swimming area during summer months, with equipment rentals and a restaurant available for visitors.
The lake surroundings contain multiple World War II memorials and remnants of Fort VIa, part of the 19th-century Poznań fortress system.
