Zalew Zemborzycki
About

Zalew Zemborzycki, often called Lublin’s “city lake,” is a large recreational reservoir created in 1974 on the Bystrzyca River. Surrounded by forests and extensive green areas, it has long been one of the city’s favourite leisure destinations, offering space for swimming, sailing, kayaking, cycling, and relaxed walks along the shoreline. In summer the area comes alive with activity around the Słoneczny Wrotków complex, beaches, marinas, and family attractions, while in colder months it remains a peaceful retreat for nature lovers. The reservoir also plays an important role in local water management, combining recreation with practical environmental functions. Recent revitalisation efforts continue to improve paths, infrastructure, and ecological conditions, ensuring that Zalew Zemborzycki remains a welcoming escape for residents and visitors seeking fresh air and outdoor enjoyment in Lublin.
