Turkusowe Lake, Glacial lake in Wolin National Park, Poland.
Turkusowe Lake is a glacial lake in Wolin National Park with mineral-rich waters that produce a distinctive turquoise color. The water body reaches approximately 21 meters at its deepest point and sits within a protected natural setting.
The lake formed in a former chalk quarry that operated until 1954. When extraction ended, groundwater gradually filled the excavated site and created the current water body.
Local residents and visitors gather at Turkusowe Lake during summer months to swim and participate in outdoor recreational activities.
The lake is accessible to visitors with several viewing areas around the shore. You can visit year-round, though warmer months are when most people come to enjoy outdoor activities.
Calcium-rich sediment on the lake bed reflects sunlight, creating the intense blue-green color that strikes visitors immediately. This optical effect is especially striking when viewed from the observation areas along the shore.
