A lake within the town

Castle Lake (Jezioro Zamkowe) lies in Wałcz, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It has an elongated shape and an even shoreline, and its northern part cuts into the built-up area, so the water can be reached on foot from the centre. It is the town's closest recreational lake.

Angling and beach

The Polish Angling Association manages the lake and stocks it regularly; pike, bream, carp, tench and eel are caught here. A sailing marina operates on the northern shore, and a beach with a bathing area has been arranged by the water. A walk along the bank takes little time.

Where the name comes from

The name refers to a stronghold said to have stood on the headland reaching into the town. The exact location of the castle has never been confirmed and remains a matter of conjecture. Wałcz is also known as a sports centre — the Central Sports Centre operates by the neighbouring Lake Raduń.
