Description
Maltańskie Lake was created in the 1950s and functions as a rowing track. Around the reservoir there are recreation areas - thermal baths, an artificial ski slope, bicycle paths, etc. The most interesting time at the lake is in the autumn and winter, when thousands gulls gather for the night: European Herring Gull, Caspian Gull, Black-headed Gull (2000-3000 ind.), Common Gull and single Mediterranean Gull, Yellow-legged Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Great Black-backed Gull. Three rare seagulls were also found on the lake: Glaucous Gull, Iceland Gull and Pallas's Gull. This is a very popular place for ring readers.
White-tailed Eagle and Peregrine Falcon sometimes come to the lake to hunt gulls. Single sea ducks and divers also appear regularly during this period: Velvet Scoter, Common Scoter, Greater Scaup and Black-throated Diver. Due to the few places with a belt of reeds, there are not many breeding species here. The more interesting birds that can be observed quite regularly here are Eurasian Green Woodpecker, Common Kingfisher and Grey Wagtail.

Access
Maltańskie Lake is located in the city center, so there is no problem getting there by public transport or by bike. A bicycle path and a walking route run around the lake. On the northern shore the paths are not separated, so watch out for cyclists and rollerbladers.
