Lake Rybnickie (Zbiornik Rybnicki, Zalew Rybnicki) – a reservoir created by damming the Ruda River waters with a dam in Rybnik Stodoły.

The reservoir with an area of 4.5 km² and a volume of 22 million m³ of water was created in the districts of Rybnik – Rybnicka Kuźnia, Orzepowice, Chwałęcice and Stodły, for the needs of the Rybnik Power Plant.
At the minimum level of damming (ordinate 220.00 m above sea level), the reservoir has a volume of 17.588 million m³, at the normal level (221.00 m above sea level) – 22.099 million m³, and at the flood (maximum) level of 221.30 m above sea level – 23.482 million m³. The usable volume of the reservoir is 4.511 million m³, and the permanent flood reserve is 1.383 million m³. The usable volume of the reservoir is the elevation of 220.00–221.00 m above sea level.

Narrow-gauge railway in Rudy

Highlight • Historical Site

Rudy offers an interesting attraction for narrow-gauge railway enthusiasts. Although the original station has not survived in its entirety, you can still see fragments of the old infrastructure, including the preserved locomotive shed building. The narrow-gauge line, which reached Rudy in the late 19th century, was an important element of local transport. The currently preserved section of the route can be an interesting point on a bicycle trip, allowing you to discover the history of the region.
