An artificial lake located in the center of Poznań surrounded by recreational areas.
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: Серебристая чайка, Хохотунья, Озерная чайка (2000-3000 ind.), Сизая чайка and single Черноголовая чайка, Средиземноморская чайка, Клуша, Морская чайка. Three rare seagulls were also found on the lake: Бургомистр, Полярная чайка and Черноголовый хохотун. This is a very popular place for ring readers.
Орлан-белохвост and Сапсан sometimes come to the lake to hunt gulls. Single sea ducks and divers also appear regularly during this period: Турпан, Синьга, Морская чернеть and Чернозобая гагара. 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 Зелёный дятел, Обыкновенный зимородок and Горная трясогузка.
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.
Partially along the northern shore there is a narrow railway route leading from the western shore to the zoo - a nice attraction.
