Mietkowskie Lake
Lake in Poland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mietkowskie Lake (Polish: Jezioro Mietkowskie) - is the largest lake in the Dolnośląskie Voivodeship in Poland.[1] The lake is a retention reservoir created when a dam was built on the river Bystrzyca in Mietków, about 45 kilometres south-east of Wrocław.[2] Geographically the lake is located on the Świdnicka Plain; divided by the Bystrzyca Valley, located in the Bystrzyca Valley Landscape Park.[3] The dam's construction began in 1974, and fully filled in 1986. The lake's dam has a length of 3,2 kilometres and a height of 17 metres. The lake's bank is excavated for aggregate, deepening the lake. The lake's water was lowered and the lake was renovated in 2007 and 2011.[4]
