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.
