It is located on the Wapienica River. It's worth a look.

Wapienica Dam

Highlight • Monument

The President Ignacy Mościcki Dam – a concrete and earth dam built in 1929–1932 on the Wapienica River and the Barbara stream in the town of Wapienica (today a district of Bielsko-Biała). The reservoir created by damming the water is called Wielka Łąka Lake.

Due to the purpose of the reservoir (water collection for consumption purposes), its banks are inaccessible to the public (the reservoir is covered by a direct sanitary protection zone), while the catchment areas of the Wapienica, Barbara and Żydowski streams constitute a strict protection zone.

The water in the reservoir meets the standards for Class I water purity in terms of physicochemical and bacteriological parameters. This condition has been maintained since 1993. There is no fishing economy here in any form and there is a ban on practicing water sports. There are also filter stations that purify water for municipal purposes.

Crooked Cottage on the Dam in Wapienica.
Next to the dam is the Crooked Cottage - a wooden cottage with a viewpoint on the lake, which houses a buffet and a café. The hosts of this facility are Mr. and Mrs. Wieja. Here they provide relaxation and peace in the midst of nature.
