The dam on the Kamienna River, which forms the Brodzki Reservoir, is an interesting recreational spot in the Świętokrzyskie Province. It was built in the 1960s to regulate the flow of the river and provide water for nearby industrial plants. Today, the reservoir serves a recreational function, attracting anglers, kayakers and water lovers. The surrounding forests and hilly terrain create ideal conditions for cycling and hiking. It is worth visiting this place for the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views, especially at sunset, when the water reflects the warm colors of the sky.
