Location: Bagry Lake, Kraków, Poland

Bagry Lake, one of the largest water reservoirs within Kraków, is an artificial lake created in a former gravel pit in the Podgórze district. The lake covers around 30 hectares and reaches a maximum depth of nearly 8 meters, offering a spacious and calm water surface close to the city center.

Surrounded by green areas, recreational spots, and urban infrastructure, Bagry has become a popular destination for swimming, sailing, kayaking, and other water sports.
