      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.

        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.
