Goczałkowickie Lake, known as the Silesian Sea, is a large dam reservoir on the Vistula, built between 1950 and 1955 (in operation since 1956). It supplies water to the Upper Silesian conurbation.
The reservoir provides approx. 38% of the treated surface water for the GZM metropolis, and serves flood-control and fishing functions. It is protected under Natura 2000 as a bird sanctuary. Walking and cycling are possible along the dam crest.
Access from the dam crest year-round. Exact hours not confirmed.
