Top 15 Lakes around gmina Kęty

An ideal suggestion for a lazy Sunday afternoon in nature. A peaceful loop around picturesque water reservoirs in Brzeszcze. Children will be delighted by the proximity to water and the opportunity to observe swans, ducks, and herons. The paths are flat, separated from car traffic, and surrounded by beautiful forest, providing welcome shade on hot days. An excellent place for relaxation, resting on the causeway, and catching your breath.

Surface: Natural, dirt-and-gravel path running along embankments and dikes. In places, it can be muddy or overgrown with grass after rainfall. Gravel / MTB / trekking tires will work best. Number and names of reservoirs: Officially, it is a complex of 9 ponds (Krzemieńczyk Duży, Adam Duży, Średni, Górny, Zimowy, Letni, Malinowski, and the Kościelecki I and II, divided by a dike). In the terrain, considering small hydrological cutoffs, up to 10 can be counted. Nature and protection: Natura 2000 protected area (Dolina Dolnej Soły) and a natural-landscape complex. Breeding ground for rare birds, including the white-winged tern. Beautiful views of the water surfaces and reed beds can be seen from the dikes. Route connection: The complex borders the Soła river embankments to the west and smoothly transitions into the Grojeckie Ponds area to the south. It offers an excellent, car-free connection between the southern districts of Oświęcim and Zaborze and Grojec.

Stawy Adofińskie An exceptionally picturesque, flat gravel section leading through the dikes of a historic complex of 9-10 carp ponds in the Soła Valley. A refuge for wild birds, ideal for a peaceful ride on a trekking or gravel bike, or for a hike away from car traffic.

It is one of the oldest dams in Poland, built in 1928-1936. The dam creates the picturesque Międzybrodzkie Lake, ideal for walking and admiring the landscape. The area around the dam is a great place for hiking and cycling.

An interesting example of hydrotechnical construction from before World War II. Not without charm - if someone can appreciate the beauty of this type of construction. In this context, I propose to compare the appearance of this dam with the nearby Żywieckie Lake dam in Tresna, which was built in the times of real socialism.

In the middle of the forest there is a small water reservoir called by the inhabitants Wilczy Staw. It is believed that this is not a natural reservoir but rather a human creation. It is not known when exactly it was created. It probably served as a place for breeding trout. trout farm, and used by the manor farm. Currently, in its immediate vicinity there is a second, slightly larger pond, which serves as a retention pond.

It is not fully known why such a name or when it was created. There are beautiful, tall Douglas fir trees probably planted by foresters employed by former owners of Goats. Recently, a second pond has been built nearby - an overflow storage reservoir. https://www.kozy.pl/wilczy-staw-w-kozach-i-i-jego-okolicamiejsceniezwykle/site/88.html https://www.facebook.com/178426498978272/posts/1868144370006468/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9XfRt3LbQg
