Lake Rożnow, Reservoir in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Lake Rożnow extends for 20 kilometers along the Dunajec River, featuring numerous bays and peninsulas surrounded by densely forested hills at 265 meters elevation.
The construction of Lake Rożnow began in 1935 as a response to destructive floods, with the filling process taking two years from 1941 to 1943 during World War II.
The medieval Castle Tropsztyn near the lake opens its doors in summer months, connecting visitors to tales of an alleged Inca treasure from its 18th-century owner.
The lake serves multiple purposes including flood control, power generation through the Rożnow Power Plant, and water supply regulation for the surrounding communities.
Monkey Island, formerly a hilltop fortress, transformed into an island during the 1942 valley flooding and now functions as a reserve for 165 bird species.
