The dam in the Vistula, which creates Lake Czerniańskie. Construction completed in 1973. This is where the Wisełka River begins, which, after joining the Malinka stream a little further, forms the Vistula River.

View of the Lagoon and the President's Castle. Until 2024, there was an observation deck here, but it was demolished for safety reasons.
