Poplavok Pond, reservoir in Russia

Poplavok Pond is a small body of water in Kaliningrad divided into two connected sections by a strip of land. The water is shallow and calm, surrounded by paved paths and wooden bridges where visitors can walk and observe the surroundings.

The pond was dug in the early 20th century to drain waterlogged ground while the Amalienau district was being built in Königsberg's western suburbs. Its German name, Zwillingsteich (Twin Pond), came from its two halves, joined by three channels. It was renamed Poplavok in 1949. The city announced reconstruction plans in 2008, work began in spring 2013, and the embankment reopened on 25 April 2014.

Locals visit the pond regularly for walks and to watch birds and wildlife on the water. Fishermen gather here at dawn and dusk, while families sit on benches near the shore and children feed the ducks and swans that rest on the surface.

The pond is easy to reach by car or public transport and features paved walking paths, benches for resting, and evening lighting for safe visits. The area is open year-round, with early mornings and evenings offering the quietest experience and best conditions for observing wildlife.

The German name Zwillingsteich means Twin Pond, after its two nearly equal halves linked by three channels. The popular Russian name Bread Lake came from a bakery that stood by the water. The pond was renamed Poplavok in 1949.
