It is a very interesting water reservoir, not only because of its natural values, but also because of its location right next to the palace and park complex in Stoła. The shores of the lake are mostly covered with reeds, riparian forests and swamps. This is a reservoir where you can successfully fish. The fishing spot is rather shallow, 1-2 m deep and accessible by floating means. You can catch here mainly pike and tench, but also crucian carp, perch, eel, bream and roach. The lake can be reached by a road made of concrete slabs. On one of its shores there is a small recreational and beach area with a beach, and small boats are moored nearby. An interesting fact is that fragments of the so-called American bomber were found in the tank. "Flying Fortress", which was shot down by the Germans in the spring of 1944.

There is a small, very simple harbor snack bar on the campsite, which is also very simple, with a few fish dishes, which is only open on weekends and only Saturdays and Sundays until 6 p.m. The fish is freshly fried in butter by the friendly old lady and is delicious. There is also potato salad and a kitchen towel as a napkin. You have to experience this!
