Beskrivning
Zalew Zakrzówek, also known as Zakrzówek, is a flooded quarry in the city of Kraków. It was created in 1990 in a former quarry when the invading groundwater was stopped being pumped out. The banks are mostly steep rock faces with a height of up to 30 meters. The lake is used by the people of Krakow as a local recreation area. In June 2023, after a renovation, swimming in the lake was allowed in designated areas. In the surrounding park many birds can be spotted. You can take a beautiful, green walk through the hilly park and eventually you get spectacular views of the steep cliffs of the hidden lake.
