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: Srebrnasti galeb, Sinji galeb, Obični galeb (2000-3000 ind.), Sivi galeb and single Crnoglavi galeb, Morski galeb, Mrki galeb, Crni galeb. Three rare seagulls were also found on the lake: Severni galeb, Islandski galeb and Veliki crnoglavi galeb. This is a very popular place for ring readers.
Belorepan and Sivi soko sometimes come to the lake to hunt gulls. Single sea ducks and divers also appear regularly during this period: Baršunasti turpan, Crni turpan, Morska crnka and Crnogrli morski gnjurac. 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 Zelena žuna, Vodomar and Potočna pliska.
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.
