Czaniec Lake

Czaniec Lake, also called the Czaniec Reservoir, is a drinking-water storage reservoir on the Soła in Bielsko County. It was created after the dam in Porąbka was built.

What kind of reservoir it is

The reservoir covers 45 hectares, has a total capacity of 1.3 million m³ and a maximum depth of 6.5 m. It is a reserve of drinking water for, among others, Katowice, Tychy and Bielsko-Biała, and the water is treated on site.

What is allowed by the water

All water sports and fishery management are prohibited on the reservoir. It is a body of water to be looked at from the shore, not for swimming or sailing. Those who want a more active holiday on the water should plan it at the neighbouring Międzybrodzie Lake, about 4 km from here.

Practical information

• Location: Porąbka, Bielsko County, on the Soła river.
• Check the access rules and the availability of the shore locally before you travel, because the reservoir serves the drinking-water supply.
