Staw Baczkowski

Staw Baczkowski is a lake in northwestern Poznan with varying shorelines, shallow bays, and vegetated banks. The water supports diverse fish and bird populations in a setting that feels removed from the urban center nearby.

The lake took shape in the early 1900s and quickly became a gathering place for local people seeking recreation and fishing. This function as a community center has remained unchanged for over a century.

The lake holds meaning for Poznan residents as a place where people fish and gather throughout the year. The shores show signs of this long-standing relationship between the community and the water.

The lake can be reached through several gates positioned around its perimeter, each offering different entry points. Marked walking paths and observation spots are distributed along the shore for visitors to explore the water and surroundings.

The water stays naturally clean due to specialized aquatic plants that work as a living filter year-round. This biological system keeps the lake in balance without needing artificial treatments.
