Tips from the Community
The Goczałkowice dam was built between 1950 and 1955 on the Vistula River, and its creation led to the formation of the Goczałkowice Lake – one of the largest artificial reservoirs in southern Poland. The main task of the dam is the water supply for Upper Silesia and flood protection. The earth-fill dam itself is about 2.98 km long and 14 m high.

A few dozen meters further, you can sit on benches on the crown of the dam, with a view of Lake Goczałkowickie, but the advantage of this place is that you rest in the shade, which is lacking on the dam.

Concrete slab section at the dam (towards Landek, 3.5 km) About a kilometer after the dam in Goczałkowice, turn left from the asphalt forest road, where a section paved with concrete slabs begins. The route is approximately 3.5 km long and leads through a quiet forest towards Landek. The road is passable, but uneven and not very comfortable – especially for bikes with thin tires. This section is recommended for more experienced cyclists, preferably on bikes with suspension or wider tires. In exchange for a more challenging surface, you can experience the atmosphere of the forest and enjoy the peace and quiet 🚴♀️🌲.
